Petrol (gas) prices worldwide

[New World Explorer]

Since the war started in Ukraine petrol price skyrocketed here Down Under

Approximately 9 days ago we were paying $1.69 for a litre, that is 95 grade petrol, 98 was more expensive.(We do not do gallons here)  

I am curious about prices in other parts of the world.

California is close to averaging $5 per gallon.

 

Converting liters to gallons and AUD to USD I think we are paying the same as you are.

As of today we are paying AU$2 per l (which is a lot)

I watched You Tube video of a Russian family driving and showing petrol prices 

95 grade was around $2 per gallon and 54c Per litre.

We are over $2 a litre now (not sure exactly). 
 

Was coincidentally watching this on YouTube about petrol prices in Russia from the perspective of normal everyday Russians.

They seem such a nice family. Was watching them planting potatoes at their father’s house. Normal everyday families will be suffering in Russia too, and the brothers and sisters even more so. 😢

Depending on which gas station, but around 1,99€ - 2,14€ or $2.34 USD a litre. 

[Amygdala]

So $2.34 USD x 4.54 = $10.62 USD per gallon approx.

Prices going up every day. My company got bought out last month so now I am out of a job. Great timing. Lol. I guess at least I’m not paying for gas to drive to work. Haha 

 

My question is why is no one talking about OPEC and them releasing more gas for the market?  I’m very ignorant with how everything is connected but shouldn’t there be talk about getting more oil from other places?

Good question. I haven't delved into yet but something to keep in mind is that anything that disrupts the supply/demand and delivery process will have a ripple effect.

 

As far a the Russian crude, not all crude is alike, actually it is very different. Think of crude like coffee or wine, every country produces a different variety. Oil refineries can't process just any crude, they are typically designed to process specific types or blends of crude.

 

It will be interesting to watch this aspect of the situation develop.

I didn’t realize that about different types of crude!  
Makes sense. So much to learn in the world!

There is also issues with logistics. Transportating oil and refined products can be a logistics nightmare.

The prices may shoot north further. 
US and others consider banning Russian oil as a next step of sanctions. 

[Dages]

It's already almost 2€/liter (that's roughly 8,3 $/gal)

[Qapla]

Gas here went up 40­¢ a gallon from Friday to Saturday... yesterday it was $4 gal - haven't been out today to know what it is today

Yes, I looked at that and apparently Vancouver has the highest prices in Canada. They say it's not only because of the Russia-Ukraine war. They attribute it also to the increase in demand in the post-COVID era. I'm on the other side of the country, and here it's only (lol) 186 cents per litre (average); more specifically it's 185.5 cents per litre, 185.9, 186.9, depending on where you happen to go in Greater Montreal.

Fuel prices here have never been higher. 1 liter now costs $2.55. (2.347 Euro) . 

 

Gas prices (for heating) are linked to this price. Many people are really struggling financially because of this.

The local news just reported that president Biden has approved the release of 30,000,000 gallons of crude oil from the Strategic Reserves.

What? 30 million gallons would last just over 4 days in the refinery that I worked at. 

President Biden actually approved the release of 30 million barrels of crude. That's 42 times more than the newscaster announced..🤣

[pnutts]

In Canada the price varies due to province and how close to major market. Ontario in GTA is about $1.85 Canadian per litter. In Vancouver it is over $2 and going up.

Just a side note. 1 US gallon is 3.78 liters. An Imperial gallon is 4.539 litres. The ounces are different  too.

1 US ounce is approx 29.57 ml whereas an Imp ounce is appro 28.41 ml.

Learned that many a year ago when converting between the 3. Lab was different than my calculations and I said only way for that to happen is if ounces where different sizes. They are. Not taught in school in late 60s early 70s.
