6G Celicas Forums

They need to remove the damn tariff on ethanol. They're making that crap for cheap in Brazil out of sugar cane, but they won't let them sell it in the US to protect oil companies and US farmers. Bio diesel is growing too, watch out for more diesel cars.

True and this is high energy fuel while conversion of engine from gas to ethanol is like 500$. And it does not damage the engine.

Concerning high prices - I pay 4.90$ per gallon for 95 octane (which is regular in my country - octane I mean, but prices are getting regular-ly higher too ). Fortunately for everyday driving I use corporate turbodiesel-powered car (high torque - that is what I like ).

lol im just thinking of dumb stuff rite now, but imagine a 6gc with an electric motor from the electric rav4... lol future swap!

that like saying put a celica kit on a prius

LMAO!

idaho is 30 cents under the national gas price average 92 Premium is 2.82 a gallon

I use premium in the celica, but it's got the 4agze. the truck gets regular tho

Apparently theres some giant revolt going on and everyone has stopped getting gas from Exxon/Mobil. The idea is that if people stop buying gas from the largest company, the price will drop, and in turn the other companies will lower their price too... we'll see.

no they arnt, we talked about it in economics, with the price of crude oil right now, to make any profit, selling unrefined oil, not paying any wokers, and using no trucks or anything to deliver the fuel, it would cost about $1.75 per gallon, then add the refining cost, and pay the workers, and gas up the trucks that are moving it around, the problem is our refineries are old and not running at capacity and we are all driving to much

Can't the government do something? If oil profits are at an all time high, then that's price gouging.

oil profits arent at that high, what the gov. needs to do is bail out the oil companies like they did the airlines and update our refineries so that they can work at maximum capacity, if bush were smart he would suggest a bill to do that, then his approval rating would go up.

I guess theres one good thing about living in Iowa, 89 octane with the ethanol is a lot cheaper than the 87 usually about 10 cents, we're at about 2.68 - highest we've been in a long time.

Wow.

I wish mine was that cheap, right now the nearest gas station is at $3.12 for 87

lilsteeg what you said was true when the hurricanes first destroyed all of those off shore oil refineries but now those have all been fixed and there is no need for the gas prices to still be rising and it is true that oil profits are at an all time high right now

no, those werent the major part, the on shore ones are, there are 2 of them in my city and they are out of date.

the profits are at an all time high because we are driving more than we ever have, you can make less per gallon, but if we keep driving there profits are going to go up, its not the ammount per gallon that they are making that is at an all time high

ive noticed that exxon's prices ARE a little cheaper around here than everyone elses...but not by much..

Our Shell Optimax is now over £1.02 a litre
Scary when the cost goes up quicker than the voloume at the pump.
WOuld love to be able to pay your prices guys

I look at it this way, it takes about 30 bucks (when gas was around 2.20ish a gallon) to fill up, with the increase it brings it to about 33-34 bucks. The extra 3-4 bucks means i cant get any hungry man dinners for that week. But I heard in Colorado the prices are supposed to hit a peak of 5 bucks a gallon by the end of the summer...

Dude, two years ago it was only 1.25 a gallon. I remember back in '98 when 87 Octane hit a low of 89 cents a gallon. I filled my car up for 10 bucks once. I miss the Clinton administration.

seems i pay too much and burn too much these days...just like to drive the crap outta the CeliPig so i fill on 92octane.

prices here have dropped a few cents and the provincial government announced today it will be regulating fuel prices as of June 1st. not sure that's a good thing, have to wait and see. at least there won't be any more wild jumps in prices-- 1.09 one day 1.27 the next and then 1.14 on day 4.

price today is 114.9 cents/l so...

1 gallon [US, liquid] = 3.79 litre * 114.9 = 4.35$CDN = 4.82$US/gal
