99.9 here but they have to ship it in by barge, which adds to the price, so prices are slow to drop but they are also slower to rise.

81.4 in St. Albert. Just filled up the tank and it only cost me $31, and I was just barely above empty. Haven't been able to say that in a looooong time.

$2.45 for 87 octane here in Colorado. On a side note, does anyone else ever wonder if there is any real difference between the gasoline grades...regular, premium, ultra-premium? I am of the belief that there is but one tank under the ground at gas stations and that all the pumps are regular gas yet labled differently. Have you ever seen three tanker trucks unloading gas at the station?

you would be incorrect.
don't you think there would be a law or two that would get in the way of that?

One thing that could make you think that is that when you put premium in a vehicle that only requires regular grade, there is no increase in performance. In fact you'll have better performance using regular grade in a motor that is built for that grade.

I worked at a gas station when I was younger...there was three tanks, two regular, one premium.

Correct .... and the middle grade is a blend of the lowest grade and best grade.

We pay around 1,32 Euro per liter here, that's about $2,05 Canadian.
That makes our gas roughly 3,5 times more expensive than the highest prices I've read on this thread throughout North America.
May Ra bless the inevitable solar power.

Amazing how you guys get gouged over there, lucky for you guys 95% of cars are the little 4 bangers that get 40-50 MPG. I filled up today @77.9 in Calgary but with a sub $50.00 a barrel oil prices were still taking it up the arse...prices should be low .60's.

Curious, do gas prices as a rule normally go up in the US for thanksgiving?
Just that I always associate Canada day weekend with a gas hike.
74.3 in Ottawa

It has been known to happen around every big travel holiday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, etc. That almost led me to fill up tonight, but I'm going to wait it out and take my chances tomorrow.
Strangely, gas prices almost always go down around election day...hmm.
