I just don't get how I am paying $.76, here in Calgary while the Yankees get a gallon for around or under $2, which is like $.60. Pisses me off, probably all the oil they are getting for free from the Iraq war.

Yankee's pay less than 20% tax on gas, we pay about 33% in Canada.

But we have all these great roads in Canada

excellent!...less money to pay employees when it comes time for raises.

you know, I use to do this to when I worked for the bank, but being self employed now I get to see the other side of the coin. If I can find a way to save some money and still get the same product, thats the way I tend to go.

80.9 in Edson

I just filled up this morning for my thanksgiving drive tomorrow at 1.48 a gallon which is .391/litre

Man this gas is going low ... i never thought i would see it this low again... when i started driving in 1998 my first fill up was at 92 cents a gallon .24/L I wonder how long it will stay like this???

the roads are much worse here in the midwest compared to most everywhere I've driven in western Canada

anyways, $1.54/gallon here yesterday, but up to $1.79 for the long weekend, i guess

I was kidding, actually I go to Shell exclusively for the Air Miles, and only go to full serve when I have my son in the car.

I saw gas under 2.00 per gallon in So Cal. I really never thought I'd see that again.
