Alex, go to sleep!

It's $4.09 here. And I thought that was bad! Sheesh!

I'm surprised you didn't use my full name for full effect.

Okay, then. . . Go to sleep, Alexander! (I hope you can get to sleep soon. I hate insomnia!)

Krissy, that definitely got my attention! Then I googled "Gas prices in Canada," and found this:

“Only $1.30 a gallon for gas? I couldn’t believe my eyes,” said the American tourist at Vancouver’s Granville Island Market the other day.

Think gas prices are high in the U.S. right now? Come to Canada, where prices may LOOK a lot cheaper on gas-station signs — 1.30 — but are in reality much higher, and have been for years. Doing the math to convert prices is complicated.

The Toronto Globe & Mail reports that gas (occasionally called petrol here) recently hit 1.40 — gas is measured in litres in this metri-cized country — at a Vancouver station in suburban Richmond. Get out your calculator and that comes out to about $5.60 a U.S. gallon. Not cheap.

Plus, the Canadian dollar (loonie) is at an eight-year high right now — it’s worth more than a U.S. dollar — so that makes Canadian gas even more expensive now.

Wow Rob, that is interesting! I had no idea! Thanks for sharing....I guess we should feel 'fortunate'? But lol, somehow I don't.

WOW! It's still $2.14 up here. But we were $2.21 just the other day, so hopefully we'll be sub-$2 soon, too.

$1.75 here.......

$1.58 in Oklahoma!!!

Its 88.9 here but thats per liter of course! But it hasn't been this low in years.

I paid $2.659 per gallon for premium today. Unbelievable.

They have gone down in Canada

I paid 1.14 with help from my Stop and Shop points (1.00 off) so filling up was 13.77. Haven't seen that since I was 18!. ; )

They finally dropped below $2 up here.  

below $2 a gallon, that seems impossible! When I last got gas for my car towards the end of December I paid betwwen $2.40 - $2.60 for it, I don't remember the exact price. I'm jealous that its so much cheaper in some other parts of the country! I thought it was a big deal when it went under $3 per gallon here in CT.

Wow! Very Good indeed.

Oh wow! Didn't know that!!!

I remember seeing a special on the news a couple of weeks ago about drivers that were buying 'gas guzzlers' and other large vehicles while gas prices are really low. But what are they going to do if/when the prices of fuel go up again? That's why I'm happy with the small car I drive!
