of course not, canadians are too stupid to realize that 1 gallon= 3.75 liters or something. americans during katrina were up in arms when they had to pay 2.50 for a gallon. fuck we were up to 1.20 and that would be in excess of 3.40 per gallon. but nooo, we just take the ass raping no one says anything.

I see what you mean...it better not increase..we can survive off alberta's oil for years..the damn oil prices are only rising b/c of the stupid offshore US rigs in the gulf, and the damn hurricanes. Gas and oil are and have been rising for a while. we sure better find some more efficient ways of running vehicles.

no fucking shit not 1.20 a gallon in canada we are fucking metric.

and of course its going to go up, isn't it pretty damn obvious by now that our prices fluctuate when american prices fluctuate. anyways what we really need to find out is how much tax is on american gas compared to canadian. then take the tax away and see how much is strictly for the actual oil and not for the government to spend on road repairs.

you heard of this quote? when america sneezes we catch a cold. well it may not be the same anymore with weakening dollar, but their is still a majority of truth to it.

just read this.

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1125490696957_14?s_name=&no_ads=

its outdated but those are your answers.

don't be fooled that the rising gas prices mean a shortage of oil. there is enough for now. it is going up because the price of refining it is getting more expensive (drilling in remote oil fields or mountainous areas with vast oil resovoirs) and they can't keep up with the output becaose opec only lets so many barrels made per day.

hell the tar sands in alberta are going to be a huge source of oil in the next many years and pretty soon alberta is going to be income tax free.

$5/gal? welcome to planet earth, pal.
here petrol is $1.40/litre=$5.25/gal.
the us has obscenely low petol prices, thats why you seppos have those big fuck-off 4wds that are only ever used to do the shopping. i know that id prefer having a huge fucking tank in your country cos you guys need all the security you can get.
as a comparison, a friend of mine is considering selling his 1.8 litre nissan cos petrols just too damn expensive.

what you have to realize is that the american government doesnt charge the taxes that every other european country does. if you look at the prices without taxes they are all within mere cents of each other. european governments charge double or even triple the taxes that the US does

As gay as my Focus wagon is, I am so glad I sold my on the edge of death Jeep Grand Cherokee for it. 30mpg instead of 12. I still ride my bike to work though. I wish we could go back to 1998 when everything was sweet.

I ride a trek XO1 cyclocross bike whenever I can. I only ride it to places that I can bring it in with me. The local stores let me bring it in most of the time and park it behind the customer service counter. I still lock the wheels to the frame when I leave it.

I dont trust anybody anymore.
