What was the price per gallon of gas in 1978?
In 1978, the US national average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was 67 cents. That is equal to about $2.24 per gallon in 2010 dollars. Also, you could still buy leaded gasoline in 1978, which was 63 cents per gallon.
Average cost of gallon of gasoline?
The true cost of gasoline from a manufacturing standpoint is very low. The white gas is what is left over from all refining processes. It is because of all the profits from prior refining that the white gas becomes costless. This may be difficult for some to understand being that basic economics teaches that nothing is free. There is a cost to everything manufactured and gasoline is not an exception. Additives and transporting will add to the cost. As stated it is still very low. Just what the cost is is a matter of creative paperwork. But for now please consider that Shell Oil had a cost of just 5 cents a gallon. Yes, FIVE CENTS a gallon. That cost was considered to be transportation cost. This cost was during the mid 1980's when gasoline was around say, $1.25 a gallon. For some manufacturers the cost will be different but still low as compared to what consumers are paying. Iraq, Saddam Hussein period gasoline was stated to be 4 cents a gallon. Saudi Arabia, same time gasoline was stated to be 7 cents a gallon. I forgot the name of the country in South America, gasoline was 15 cents a gallon. Once again, the true cost of gasoline is low...because of all the profits from refinement of the crude to produce oils, minerals, solvents, metals, plastics and distillates to name a few.

How many liters are in 2 imperial gallons?
U.S. gallons are different from imperial gallons. 1 Imperial gallon is equal to 4.54609188 litres and 1 US gallon is equal to 3.78541178 litres. Liters on the other hand are the same everywhere. One liter equals 0.26 U.S. gallon or 0.219 Imperial gallon.
Is 1 gallon of gasoline more or less than 4 liters?
1 US fluid gallon is 5.36% less than 4 liters, and it doesn't matter what's in it.It could even be empty and the number would still be the same.

When oil was 140 dollars per barrel we paid over 4 dollars a gallon for gas but now oil is 70 dollars per barrel so why do we pay almost 3 dollars per gallon instead of 2 dollars?
The price of gasonline is more than just what is paid for the oil extracted from the ground. That gasoline price also includes refining, shipping, and sale (like the people who work at gas stations). From December to June 2009, gasoline prices went from about $1.50 to $2.50, while oil went from $30/barrel to $70/barrel. That translates, very roughly, to a $1 increase per gallon of gasoline for every $40 per barrel of oil. That would mean that if oil sold for $0, gasoline would still cost about $.75 a gallon. Keep in mind, the $1 gasoline for $40 of oil is a very unscientific method. Yet it is somewhat consistent. At July of last year, oil was $147, and gasoline costed on average $4.12, I think. That means the cost of oil then was about $80 more than it is right now. That translates to an extra $2/gallon for gasoline. Add those two dollars to the current price of $2.50/gallon, and you end up with an estimated $4.50- not a far cry from the actual $4.12.
What is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by burning one pound of fossil fuels?
First, it should be understood that the gallon of gas will not create any carbon. All the carbon due to the gallon of gas is already there, in and part of the gas(oline). It amounts to about 12/14 of the gasoline, so the carbon content of a gallon of gasoline is 12/14 of 6.2 lb (wt of a gallon of gasoline), or about 5.3 lb of carbon. It will still be 5.3 lb of carbon even if you burn it, since matter is not destroyed in a chemical reaction. If the question is how much carbon dioxide, the simplest answer is that there is about 3.2 times as much carbon dioxide produced in burning alkanes (like octane) as the weight of the alkane. A gallon of gas weighs about 6.2 lb and will combine with oxygen to make about 3.2x6.2 or 20 lb of CO2.
What are the Uses of unleaded gasoline?
This is the normal gasoline used for modern cars, only some older ones still need leaded gasoline.
When is the best time to buy gasoline?
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. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
