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.

What was the price of a gallon of gas in 1909?

So I guess it was 12 1/2 cents per gallon. At least in CanadaMonthly FeatureFebruary 1999White Rose and Red Seal Gasoline price signs for visible gas pumps - circa 1928.Canadian law ruled taxes must be shown separately .Gasoline Pricesor "The good old days"View this article in conjunction with the new "GASOLINE" page* We don't have to make good excuses --- We make good gasoline *(1916 advertisement)* White Rose Gasoline sells for more per gallonand is worth more than it sells for ** White Rose Costs Less Per Mile *canadian Oil Companies Limited didn't hide the fact that their gasoline cost more per gallon than the competition's--- indeed they actively promoted the difference. For many years White Rose Gasoline sold for 3 cents more per gallon than the competitions.They were proud of their quality and reputation."18 Reasons Why" , a 1926 pamphlet similar in size to an En-Ar-Co Oil News booklet ,dealt exclusively with the reasons White Rose Gasoline was the better bargain.Perhaps those weren't reasons enough, for later that same year the company saw the need for a second grade of gasoline -----Red Seal Gasoline was introduced "at the same price as (the competetions) regular".The company was very careful never to call it a regular gasoline --- instead issued this description: " Red Seal Gasoline --- manufactured for those motorists who wish to purchase a medium price gasoline "Advertising in May 1932 shows the premium for White Rose Gasoline drops to 2 cents per gallonBy August 1932 , ads now read "White Rose Gasoline cost no more than regular gasoline"---againcareful never to imply it a 'regular' gasoline.Sample pricesI cannot often quote actual retail gasoline prices, instead will show you a few examples of dealer cost, taken from company to dealer invoices in my collection.

How much is gasoline per gallon in Israel?

In Israel, (as of 9 April 2008) regular unleaded 95-octane gasoline costs 6.41 shekels per liter at full-service pumps. At the current exchange rate (3.6 shekels/USdollar) this translates to 6.76 USdollars per USgallon of gasoline in Israel. This price is government regulated and adjusted a few percent up or down from time to time to reflect world-market oil prices. Major gas stations charge this rate while independent gas stations charge considerably less (6.11 shekels per liter/6.44 USdollars per USgallon). To compete with this, major stations reduce self-service pump prices to approach the independent station prices. The shekel/USdollar exchange rate has been fluctuating lately, so the answer to this question is time-dependent. Generally speaking, however, no matter what gasoline costs in the USA, it always cost a lot more in Israel.Update: As of 8 May 2011, 95-octane is NIS 7.62 per liter. Based on 15 May 2011 exchange rate of NIS 3.48 / $1, the price is $8.29/gallon.Update: As of August 30, 2013, 95-octane is NIS 7.70 per liter
