How much does a gallon of gas cost you?

My prediction is it will keep going down slowly until the election. Then if Republicans do not win, expect a sudden increase.

I think it'll stay lower as long as the economy is in the tank.

My dad was saying the same thing the other night. I'm bracing myself for a sudden surge after the election, regardless of who wins.

Me too

Are you ready for it?








Here it comes:























Today's gas price in Sarpsborg, Norway is:

























8,42 $ per gallon (if my calculations are correct) And we MAKE the stuff too, no import!


Now you can all stop complaining

So much for my plans of moving in with your family, Kurt.

Doesn't everybody in Europe use buses and/or trains anyway? It sure seems like y'all are way more into public transportation than us Yanks.

Not everyone. I haven't sat foot in a public transportation in maybe a dacade! So I use my car for everything.

If gas were costing me $8 and change a gallon, I'd think about setting foot in it again and quick!!

That's like 54.57434 Norwegian Kroner. I have never heard of a Kroner. Dummy me thought almost everyone was on the Euro bandwagon in Europe.

For a while, gas prices and milk prices were running neck-and-neck here... but now gas prices have dipped and milk is more expensive. Which sucks because I have a baby in the house who goes through almost a gallon a week all by himself!!

Man, I'm getting older. The only true response to the question at hand should be as follows:

Correct answer: 24 beans and a taco buffet!

I knew gas in Norway had to be expensive. When I was in Sweden in the early 90s, even back then gas was going for around $4 USD.

I saw it for $3.14 this morning...my wife saw it for $2.90 yesterday in a different part of town...

Went out for lunch - saw everyhting from $2.99 to $3.11/gal

One thing about Norway that Kmorg isnt telling you though is the average salary is about twice what it is here also.

But double your salary, and you wouldn't mind paying 3 times as much for gas?

It's $2.87 in my town.

Just went down to $2.89 here.

I really hope you mean your car.

Paid $2.96 a few days ago, but it's dropped to $2.83 today.

It started dropping everyday once the bailout went through. Before that, it usually kept jumping anywhere between $3.05-3.30.

There's a BP right down my house that that is always 30 cents to the penny higher than everyone else around. It looks deserted.



My fiancee works in the insurance field and says it has something to do with them trying to keep or get low insurance rates (by having a small customer base). Doesn't really make sense to me, if you drive away too much for too long, they'll be out of business, I'd think.

$US 4.75....although that's because the Australian dollar is worth US 68 cents, about 3 months ago it was worth $US 98 cents.....which meant we were paying $US 7 a gallon then.
