Cost of gas where you live

Therrin · 31st March 2008, 04:03 AM

How about land?

I'm looking at a 2.5 acre parcel for both work and personal reasons on the outter edge of the valley. Just bare land, no utils yet. Have to drill for water.

$85,000

Thought I could set up a firewood operation there, (ITSA Firewood Service), dump my chip till its needed, store equipment, build a house, shop, etc...

How's this compare to your area?

I can get 5 acres for that..

Already got the land (for the wheat and the cow), could get the cow to fertilize the wheat but that would take forever!
Land costs from £15000 per acre for agricultural here and a hell of a lot more for building!

carvinmark · 25th May 2008, 01:30 AM

$4.17 for 87 octane and 4.99 for diesel here yesterday.

Ekka · 25th May 2008, 02:14 AM

$5 a gallon would be really hurting USA people.

3.78litres per US gallon so that's $1.32 a litre

Considering you guys were paying $1.60 a gallon in 2003

Therrin · 25th May 2008, 02:29 AM

$4.19 US gal 87 grade.
$4.99 US gal #2 diesel.

Ugh. I'ma buy a bicycle.

(*and* stockpile ammo!!

)

clementine · 25th May 2008, 03:09 AM

Here petrol (chumbo 95, the cheapest) is now €1.49 per litre, $8.85 per US gallon and diesel is $8.20 per US gallon.

Therrin · 25th May 2008, 03:14 AM

You don't happen to own one of those little motor scooters do you?

clementine · 25th May 2008, 04:10 AM

No! Can't fit the cement mixer on the back

The truck isn't very economical either and I'm now charging extra for fuel on any job that is over 10km away.

Therrin · 25th May 2008, 05:59 AM

I can't say I know what you mean, however

Someone offered me a nice diesel pickup at at great price recently, and would take private payments.

Still haven't gone for it cuz the cost to run it would sink me.

I think the Fuzz on your Island are always fishing.

Or perhaps directing tourists to the sights.
