Right. Because as Americans we don't like to pay fuel taxes directly for the fuel we buy. We just fund the Pentagon for our fuel tax. We're patriotic like that.

Don't be an ass, you of all people should know that your leaders are not necessarily who you voted for nor are they who you want to be in power.

Otherwise next time you complain about ANYTHING Obama is doing I'm going to remind you that you brought it upon yourself at the voting booth.

Quit your bitching americans!

Fuel is 2.24/L here. (Premium 95RON) (had to stop using 98RON due to cost) costs over $110 to fill my tank from fuel light.

0.00095(1/K) * 5K = 0.00475 (no units) time 14 gallons = 0.0047 gallons difference between day and night.

Or about 3 teaspoons. Yea, I'm totally going to do that to save 1.9 cents..

The use a different rating sysytem there, so it's not like 95 octane would be here.

We use RON+MON/2= octane rating

yup

[Balleristic31]

about $4.15 here for 91 :(

[HarryPotter]

WTF, did you have to look that up? Hmmm...must not know much about the rest of the world, huh?

Big fucking deal, they have a higher initial rating...it is STILL well over double what we pay, ya fuck!

Further reading into the thread enlightened me with information that I was not aware of prior to posting my comment.

I was merely trying to win. Live to Win.

Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role.

I wonder how much this is? A teaspoon? Lets see PV=nRT...errrr....Crap - that's for gasses. What's the calculation for liquid expansion?

ΔV = βV0ΔT


The thermal expansion of gas-o-lean is 950 β (10−6 K−1) (http://physics.info/expansion/)

So if the temp changes 5 degrees between day and night (underground, I think that's fair) you'd have a change of filling up a 14 gallon e30's tank....

day 50 degrees Fahrenheit = 283.15 kelvin
night 55 degrees Fahrenheit = 285.927778 kelvin

Lets just say 5 degrees K.

0.00095(1/K) * 5K = 0.00475 (no units) time 14 gallons = 0.0047 gallons difference between day and night.

Or about 3 teaspoons. Yea, I'm totally going to do that to save 1.9 cents..

im paying 3.85 for 93 here in Ga

[mamzak]

Up North, where everyone is smart and polite our gas temperatures are kept at a constant 15 degrees (C obviously). Sooooo. There?

[Albuquerque30]

We're at $3.29/gal here. It went up about $0.30 in the past month.

[StereoInstaller1]

Thats for 95 you dope.

I'm going to guess he meant no NEW refineries are being built?

thank our govt and the EPA. there were several that were built in the late 70's that never ran a barrel because of the EPA restrictions that were passed about the same time as completion and it was cheaper to not fire them up and moth ball them. NY state has 2 of those IIRC
