And some people throw all the wrappers in the back seat, and rarely do they take out the trash.

God, that stresses me out just thinking of it.

I left an empty water bottle on the passenger side of my car overnight, and it haunted me till the next day when I could put it into recycling at work.

I'm glad people in the lower mainland are feeling the squeeze. Horgan is just a Muppet talking up refineries and additional supply. I recently told a couple people from Vancouver whining about gas prices that I was hoping for $2 by Canada Day. Part of me still wants Kenney to cut off supply so we see rationing and mile long lines.

Come on now. You throw the bag in the trash and then crack a window for two blocks. It's not like you're hotboxing a blunt in there.

This is totally me. I will drive with the windows down and the sunroof open if I have to. French fries are delicious, but that doesn't mean I want my car to smell like them.

I put gas in my car for the first time in a month. I should have been shocked at the price of gas but it was the 4th tank of gas since November.

I'm the same way. I'm now gassing up my personal car every 6 to 8 weeks. It's getting to the point where it feels silly to pay for auto insurance as the annual cost for gasoline is less than half of what I pay for insurance.

I will admit that this morning, I decided I wanted to go for a drive. So I got in my car, drove out to the number 1 West, set it in sports mode, set it to manual shift and drove out to Canmore for a nice coffee and lunch, then turned around and drove back.


It allowed me to clear my head. The only thing that was missing from my personal montage was playing "No Easy Way Out" from Rocky IV

Yes, but the ride was great, sometimes when you drive so little, its nice to stack your sins on one trip.

How do you feel about people going for a drive on their motorcycles?

Gas prices dropped by 7 cents overnight to $1.08. Wondering if that has to do with the repeal of the carbon tax May 30th? Could it take effect that quickly?

I welcome this price reduction. In the mean time, gas prices in Vancouver are $1.55. Won’t be making any trips there this summer.

$0.07/L is exactly what the carbon tax was on a litre of gasoline.
