Yesterday, diesel fuel was $11.53 Cdn / imp gal ($7.38 Usd / us gal) .
Thatās about $1.40 Cdn / L. You guys still have much cheaper fuel, about 25% less. It was $1.87 here tonight. Crazy too is diesel was $2.47/L last week. Used to be cheaper than gasoline.Lowest price I've seen around here in Tucson is $4.099 for reg. unleaded. High is $4.499 for the same. Tucson AZ
My local is down to $1.79.7/L for standard unleaded. Got a s low as $172.9 before it started to rise again.
We had got to $2.20/L at the local servo.............
That's a .40c/L drop from the high and looks great on the surface but the Australian Govt cut the fuel tax in half for 6 months to relieve the pressure. That tax relief amounts to 22.1c/L
Ouch. Running WI to Arkansas and back I saw one tank at 3.79/gal. The other fills were as high as 4.19/gal.$10.03/gal yesterday (Cdn$ &imp gal).
Big difference. Gas powered electrical generation typically runs above 50% efficiency... some up into the 60+% range. Add to that the "free" (I know... not really) energy put on the grid from wind, solar, nuke and hydro and the efficiency ain't that bad... relatively speaking.What's the difference between burning petrol in an IC engine, or burning petrol (fossil) in a co-gen facility to make the electricity to charge an electric car?
Hi Tebo,What if "they" are purposely pricing petrol out of existence, making everybody run out to buy electric cars, because they are "so much cheaper to operate"? Energy can neither be created, nor destroyed, only change form. What's the difference between burning petrol in an IC engine, or burning petrol (fossil) in a co-gen facility to make the electricity to charge an electric car? Somebody, somewhere, is making boatloads of money off this artificially created crisis.
Yea...specially with that "dirty" bike in an open trailer.
Believe it or not; I HAVE run a full tank of gas through a bike at lower speeds several times. (there might have been factors other than MPG involved)Is it even possible for YOU to test a bike for maximum mpg keeping it under 60 mph?
Please stop using logic, it might make people's heads explode.What if "they" are purposely pricing petrol out of existence, making everybody run out to buy electric cars, because they are "so much cheaper to operate"?
