Gas prices in Shreveport, La area

[Pat]

The price of regular gasoline around Shreveport/Bossier is $2.02 today. It may move lower as the week wears on.

Happy motoring,

[jsignorelli]

The price of regular (87octane) hit $ 2.03 yesterday in New Jersey.

[martyo]

Yeah but the stock market is tanking so low gas prices is a small reward in comparison.

[LIGHTNIN1]

Can't believe we are paying so much more in Tulsa Ok. Low price is $2.36 and a lot in $2.40s. Think they are telling us a big one about a refinery being down.:mad2:

[ARodmarauder]

I filled up yesterday at $3.93 a gallon for 91 octane

$3.29 around here for regular unleaded. Refinery in Indiana went down for unscheduled "maintenance" which supplies much of the midwest. It's all BS. I'm really ticked about it. I follow barrel and gas prices every day.

[510paesan]

paying 3.99 for 91 octane at the 76 out here in cali

[chief455]

2.44 for 87 octane in Ct, but a town away it;'s 2.99 ??

If I had your Ca prices the Marauder would be sold, or parked.

[Turbov6Bryan]

2.80 at QT yesterday. Damn card reader refused my price chopper discount card.
Stock market going in the dumps? Just great, goodbye 401k again

[03blackvegas]

The race gas I add is 7.99, Whew!

[RF Overlord]

$2.65 for regular here.

[ncmm]

this CNN article speculates gas may be under $1 a gallon before too long. . .

Remember, too, that petrol prices in Europe have ALWAYS been significantly higher than here.

When we were in Australia in 1991, gas here was 0.90 a gallon and over there it averaged 0.75 a litre.

Yes, I know Oz isn't in Europe...it was an example... :)

The cost of gas in Europe is the same. It's their Taxes that account for 2/3 of the final price to consumers that make the difference. The USA will eventually get there by implementing more and more Socialist programs that it can't afford without getting more money from the people. Gasoline, Booze, and Cigarettes are easy targets. As soon as the Government figures out how to tax Sex, we'll be paying for that too !!!

Wow, now I have to discuss with my wife about all those taxes I have been forced to pay over these 38 years.:D

That's why I live here!

[lji372]

So the good news is in the usa we are only taxed 1/2 to death instead of in Europe where it 3/4

We should be happy little sheep and stfu :lol:

[kernie]

Having a price war around here right now, costco opened a new fuel station a couple weeks back and seem intent on being a couple cents a litre cheaper than anyone else. Of course you need a costco membership and i'm sure they are selling a ton of them! Look for a truce soon.

.96 cents a litre for regular right now which would put it about $2,75 US per US gallon, not bad for these parts!

:beer:

[tbone]

^^^^^^^

3.78541 litres = 1 gallon

.96 x 3.78541 = 3.6339936 per gallon

Obama style fuzzy math?

Hi Dereck:

If the car will run on that dark British stout, you could save money. As I recall on my eight trips to the UK, beer is cheaper than gasoline... and it tastes better too!

You package will be mailed on Monday, when I get back from a staff meeting at the University. I can't believe that the new school year is starting already.
Is that a Lincoln Town car parked at you garage, behind the petrol pumps?

[Mike D Mechanic]

gas here is 2.42.9 for low test and down to 2.82.9 for 93 octane diesel is like 2.62 I think. saving me money :) like to see it go under $2 here . last time gas fell we saw 1.99.9 for 1 day . Got outa the market awhile ago. don't know if it will crash but I'm expecting it to .

Is beer really cheaper per litre than gas?

If so... cool!

As Bluerauder pointed out, gas is for the most part the same worldwide. Taxation levels make it more expensive here in Canada and really expensive for those overseas. Of course at the end of the day the government needs money to function and there are a thousand ways of raising that capitol. Sin taxes have merit IMO.

Beer cheaper per US gallon than gas?

Win Win! Lol.

[Pat]

The down side is that states, counties and cities derive a large percentage of their revenue from Gasoline taxes. However they make their budgets a year in advance. Already governments are screaming about loss of revenue that they can't make up and are ready to raise taxes, cut services or both. There may not be a silver lining to this bonanza at the pump.

I would rather have stability at a reasonable price than these non-programmed ups and downs.

I'll have to talk to Donald about that.

This post may not meet posting rules, couldn't find restriction. Delete if required, no problem.

Correct me if i'm wrong but i think the taxes are per litre/gallon, meaning daily fluctuations don't affect the taxation take.

[Bluerauder]

This is the ******** :bs: game that Governments at all levels play. The taxes on Gasoline and Diesel fuel in Virginia are supposed to go into a Transportation Trust Fund to build new roads and maintain the existing ones. However, the "fund" gets raided by the politicians to pay for all their great ideas and latest Give-Away programs. When there is not enough money to pay for roads and maintenance, these same politicians Cry Wolf to jack up taxes in other areas or introduce new Fees because low information voters can't tell the difference between a tax and a fee. I'm still paying an annual Personal Property tax on my 12 year old Marauder in Virginia. This tax was supposed to go away more than 20 years ago. Guess what ??

The State of Maryland said that taxes from the Casino and Gambling Industry would be "fenced" to support Education. Guess what !!! People will scream bloody murder about Transportation and Education. They are the Gold Watches that are used to extort more taxes every year from a semi-Literate population. :rolleyes:

[Pat]

Silly me, I used the wrong example. I should have said that cars are more economical and are using less gas.

But Bluerauder has made a good point, the gas trust funds that are supposed to be used to construct and repair roads are being raided. According to the American Petroleum Institute Louisiana gas tax is 38.4 cents per gallon but the pirates are raiding it to the tune of 20 cents per gal. That's more than half. No wonder Louisiana roads rough.

[tbone]

Umm... I'm paying in Canadian dollars.

Trump style stupid?

Who gives a crap about Canadian dollars?????

If you are paying .96 CAD per liter, you're paying the equivalent of $1.26 US per liter which equates to $4.58 per gallon. The Canadian dollar is worth .76 of a US dollar.

You really are a special kind of ignoramus. Enjoy your bloated socialist gas prices. You deserve it.

Oh my.

Even i don't have the heart for this.

[tbone]

Next time don't mix Canadian and US dollars in the same sentence.

Yes, my conversion was incorrect.

[kernie]

My conversion was incorrect. There's more to the story. USD and CAD dollars and US and Can gallons are different. Let's see how you came up with your number.

I used my head.


It's okay.

Have a cookie.

[tbone]

My conversion is what it would cost for a US gallon in Canadian dollars, which suck.

You can't do the conversion without a calculator and the conversion charts.

Eat my sh**.

This is what i wrote that set you off. I highlighted the part you can't seem to comprehend.

I see the cookie didn't help at all.

Now is the time to buy, money is on sale!

Pump price flux does not affect the tax revenue collected.

Tax is per gallon, same number of gals are being sold just at a lower cost = same tax $ collected.

i.e. $0.25 tax per gal = same $ collected whether it's $1 gallon or $4 gallon.

You would be correct if the tax was collected like sales tax as a % of the total sale. This is specifically why the govts don't do it this way - to avoid what you were referencing.

[MyBlackBeasts]

You are correct.

[MyBlackBeasts]

This is correct which is why they are posturing about road use miles driven taxes. To collect more $ from fuel efficient vehicle owners. Just think of all those free-loading hybrid & electric car owners!!! Using the roads for free!

I get it. I converted wrong. But if you came here, you would have to buy dollars and gas a gallon at a time and you would pay about $4.60 CAD per gallon.
So at $10.50 Canadian minimum wage, that's hefty.

[Pat]

As I speculated a few days ago gas prices are now @ $1.97 here in Shreveport. Bossier is $2.01.

Happy Motoring

Hi Jsignorelli




As I recall on my eight trips to the UK, beer is cheaper than gasoline... and it tastes better too!

Not quite dude.

In a bar beer is about £3.50 ($5.40) a pint (20oz full size pint) which makes beer about £23.45 ($36.34) a US gallon. In a grocery store however yeah you can get beer for about the same price as gas





Is that a Lincoln Town car parked at you garage, behind the petrol pumps?

Yeah that's my 92 Town Car

Regards

Dereck

[jsignorelli]

I used to have a Lincoln Mark IIX. The '04 Marauder replaced it.

[MGDriver]

Current price at my towns cheapest petrol station is €1.35/L and converts to $5.90/Gal

That's why my car runs on LPG which is €0.50/L = $2.18/Gal.

[Comin' in Hot]

I paid 3.01 this morning for 93 octane.

[jsignorelli]

Yesterday, due to the falling prices of crude and the stock market tanking, gas was on sale at a local station for $ 1.99 / gallon

Your Marauder?

[MGDriver]

Your Marauder?

Yes, it has got a propane tank installed in the trunk so unfortunaltey I lose quite a bit of space there but it's the only way I can afford daily driving this car over here.
