Gas prices are $1.20/litre in the Toronto area this morning. Since the US and CDN dollars are almost on par that is like you guys in the US paying $4.54/gallon.

tsk tsk tsk, people people people, how many times must i say this? MOVE TO MINNESOTA!!!

lately our gas prices is around $2.59-$2.89 per gallon MUCH better than over $3 per gallon.



eh, cheaper gas is great an all but I'd rather pay more to stay on the east coast. And by east coast, I mean Toronto, lol. I'd stay in NY if everything else wasn't so goddamn expensive as well ($7,500 a year in taxes on a 1200 square foot house is absurd. And that's considered low around here.)

lol, it's still weird to hear you say you have a husband, especially considering it's jed. i still remember the flirty posts between the two of you on hp. rawr.


LOL, yeah it is kinda weird. For me especially cause I don't feel like I'm married.

What sucks is I'll be making the 550 mile trip to Toronto next week. Normally I spend under $200 round trip in gas. I can only imagine how much it's gonna cost me next week.

you should be able to buy gas like forever stamps. Buy it at the current price and redeem them whenever...

I found it very hard to understand this.
But you guys/girls were used to the prices you too see them going up like crazy.
I'm trying to understand fing02.gif

We had a new record this week, €1.559 ($2.45) for just for 1 litre.

This is absolute crazy!!
It will cost me well over a $110 to fill up...

OMG it went up AGAIN since last night. I just paid $3.69/gal. But $15 actually got me more than expected, about one notch below half full, from just above the empty line.
