US Average = somewhere around $2/gallon say.

Canadian = Average $0.80/liter *3.8 = $3.04/gallon (Average probably isn't .80 but whatever.)

Factor in exchange ( don't really know if thats appropriate since it should be based on a percentage on income perhaps but just for kicks) this = $2.19

So actually Canadian/American gas prices are pretty close. I'm suprised, I thought that Americans were getting their gas way cheaper.

In Calgary a month ago it was $0.65/liter now its up to 0.77 or somewhere around there.

Anyway, another point to make is that N Ameruca gas prices are no where near what it costs overseas in Europe and such. Thats why they all drive those small POS ugly cars that have a hole in the floor so you can drive like fred flintstone.

We can all make Flux Capacitors, and just use bananna peels, beer cans, and other assorted garbage.

you know everyone complains when they raise gas prices a few cents 3 days before the long weekend? this time their rasing it by 15 cents 3 weeks before the long weekend. fucking basterds. I say we stop exporting all of our oil 7 keep it to ourselves. then we will get really cheap gas. BTW unless the current parties in power do something about this soon their both risking getting tossed out of office when these elections come around. im going to need to get anonther job just to pay for gas.

its about time everone started walking, biking and riding the bus till these cock gobblers are forced to come down.

Theres only one way to make them come down and thats to stop driving

If have the people in each town in North America stopped driving... Do you know how much money theyd lose? ANd if all of them stopped it would be too much and theyd have to come down
