Just filled my truck; 118.4 for regular. This snow and cold has got to go so I can use my motorcycles full time. I like the 65mpg in the city much better than the 16.5 the truck gets.

East Van, Husky station, Diesel @ $136.9
My truck has a 135L tank = $185.00 for fill up.
Hurry up Alberta and get with it with those oil tar sands, eh!

Double edged sword for me.. Yes I pay more for gas but that also keeps me employed!

$1.18 out here in the "Wack"...Still a lot cheaper than most other European countries and elswhere in the world

We're at 117.9 in Edmonton

I can remember when I first started driving it was at 24.9 $20 to fill up back then, about $60 now.

Ya so we can ship it to the US and continue to pay more here that in the US.

My wife and I just went shopping for a new vehicle and expected to see new vehicles with a 50+ MPGallon. Nothing came close that had we could find.

On another story my Uncle from Grand Prairie (RIP) in 1974 did a retro fit on the carb of his 1970 Chrysler New Yorker that gave him 70+ MPG at that time. He sold out for enough to pay off his farm and go on a holiday. He was never sure who purchased it but all relevant , tools, carb, and paper work was taken.

So the technology is out there I know for sure.

We pay more then the U.S. because our governments tax us to death!

It's $1.21 here in SW Ontario. This mornings news said that gas prices in the US have hit an all time high but when converted to liters and CDN$ it is still just $0.90/liter.

$0.90 plus $.031/liter tax = $1.21/liter. Exact same price!
