Gas prices here is 87.9c/L!!

I think I'm going to drive my crap box for awhile.

This is insane! The 94 Petro-Canada is at $1.05c/L for the Max.

That's it. I'm walking to work!

Hey RACEFACE, it's pretty much the same in Qc, the gaz monarc, are really sucking every penny they can get from us, but I got news for these guys, sometimes in this century fresh water will worth much more than gaz and you know what in Canada we have 3/4 of the planet fresh water and soon a gallon of water will worth more than a gallon of gas, let me tell you that some day they will pay big buck for abusing people in north america.

Cheers

In Chicago, I have everyone beat. I just saw the following:

Shell (127th & I-57)
Regular: $1.99
Plus: $2.09
Premium: $2.19


I am making my runs across the border to IN where the gas is at least .20/gallon cheaper.

I wish Audi would import their A2 TDI car in the US, a perfect small commuter car. It does almost 85mpg on diesel.

$ 1.57 for Reg Unleaded

Here in Texas...
and I thought $1.80 for premium was a rip off.

Here in the West-Coast, we long for the days of "super cheap" gas like that! $1.89/gallon for premium is a dream price for us now! We're at $2.15 or more per gallon...and counting!

They say it's gonna get worse :eek:

I was watching the news before the stock market opened and they say that it could get as high as $3+ a gallon Currently in Moreno Valley California it's slighty below $2 a gallon and here in Riverside were just a few cents cheaper. I can remember in the summer of 98 when gas was as low as .87 for 87 octane. I wonder what happen since then...
