Price of Petrol Around the World? it's getting ugly here :(

[dragonfire999]

3.60 cents a gallon here in boston =(

[Hatchnet]

Amaizingly still $2.59.9 at the Shell station where I work; still $.30 cheapear than the lowest competitor in the area and $1.00 cheaper than most.

Well its $0.95/liter (Thats USD)

Arr and here were paying $2.10/liter
Thats $7.95/gallon

The price of petrol here climbs up about two times every year, it was like 2 ltrs per US $, but now it\'s about only 1ltrs per $.

It just increased 4 Rupees some days ago. It\'s getting worse and worse here also.

ok here\'s an update petrol is expected to reach $1.40au here per litre . It is going up because companies are giving things like fuel discount dockets, fuel discount cards and so forth. This forces the fuel companies to make their prices higher to make some profet. Also the government isn\'t helping because THEY are adding fuel taxes 8o.

Take that, opec.  X(

Maybe everyone should start modifying their cars to run on vegetable oil, until we figure out a better alternative.

Your car would smell like french fries though.

hmm, i can drive sort of, kinda legally, but i still walk places or grab a train... its more fun that way.

Waste-to-Oil Company Selling Oil Commercially 5.19.2004

Carthage, MO, May 19, 2004 ? Renewable Environmental Solutions LLC (RES) today announced that its first commercial plant is selling an equivalent of crude oil No. 4, produced from agricultural waste products. The Carthage, Missouri, plant is currently producing 100-200 barrels of oil per day utilizing by-products from an adjacent turkey processing facility.

RES is a joint venture of Changing World Technologies, Inc. and ConAgra Foods, Inc. established in 2000 as the exclusive vehicle for processing agricultural waste material utilizing CWT?s Thermal Conversion Process technology, throughout the world.

TCP is the first commercially viable method of reforming organic waste into a high-value energy resource. The oil being produced by RES is being sold to a local oil blender and to customers who will use it as a heat source for their operations.

Because TCP utilizes above-ground organic waste streams to produce a new energy source, it also has the potential to arrest global warming by reducing the use of fossil fuels, and to create a means of energy independence by reducing U.S. reliance on imported oil. At peak capacity, expected to be achieved by the end of this year, the first-out plant will produce 500 barrels of oil per day, as well as natural gas, liquid and solid fertilizer, and solid carbon.

?Until now our focus has been on completing commissioning of the plant, but now that we are selling oil commercially, our focus is shifting to what we can do with the TCP technology in the bigger global picture,? says P.J. Samson, President of RES.

?TCP is based on simple science, and is the only proven solution to our mounting environmental and energy problems,? said Brian Appel, Chairman and CEO of CWT.

Cornerstone Technology
TCP succeeds in breaking down long chains of organic polymers into their smallest units and reforming them into new combinations to produce clean solid, liquid and gaseous alternative fuels and specialty chemicals.

The process emulates the earth?s natural geothermal activity, whereby organic material is converted into fossil fuel under conditions of extreme heat and pressure over millions of years. It mimics the earth?s system by using pipes and controlling temperature and pressure to reduce the bio-remediation process from millions of years to mere hours.

The process entails five steps:
Pulping and slurrying the organic feed with water.
Heating the slurry under pressure to the desired temperature.
Flashing the slurry to a lower pressure to separate the mixture.
Heating the slurry again (coking) to drive off water and produce light hydrocarbons.
Separating the end products.
TCP is more than 80% energy efficient. In addition, it generates its own energy to power the plant, and uses the steam naturally created by the process to heat incoming feedstock, In addition, TCP produces no emissions and no secondary hazardous waste streams.

Good work finding this Moon. I bet Oklahoma\'s state congress starts kicking itself in it\'s collective ass when it reads this. Then again they deserve it.

Fken: I believe that site is againt bush, just look around a little.

Efflixi: but when oil runs out we won\'t be able to make plastic, and y\'kno what? computers have plastic in them, so when we\'ve used up all oil (well, mainly the US) there won\'t be anymore planeshift!

Over here in cold sweden gas costs about 1.5 USD a litre mainly due to high taxes to prevent pollution and greenhouse effects, of course in the US money is more important than the enviroment it seems.

I believe hydrogen fuel is slightly cheaper to produce than gas actually, but the hydrogen car itself is quite a bit more expensive than normal cars.

[Arklari Rereler]

Most cars are \"Hybrids\" that can take a certain mixture of 15% gasoline and then 85% other stuff (like byproducts stuff) around 40c cheaper a gallon.

Hydrogen cars produce little to no pollution AFAIK.

[Xordan]

Hit ?0.96/l here.

We\'ll never run out of oil. It\'ll just keep on getting more and more expensive and people will find more and more alternatives. I don\'t think the price increase is due to us running out though. We\'ve got decades supply left. The problem is, as rightly said earlier, that the oil isn\'t actually being produced and shipped out in large enough quantities, so the price will rise as it becomes more rare a commodity.

[Waylander]

Russia should be happy though, means they have to step on the gas (haha) but, the have tons of oil in their country and now without communism for ~10 years....money money money...Moooney
