Today gas prices have gone up in my area, and they are the highest they have EVER been.
It's absolutely ridiculous. 142.9 cents per liter! Seriously?!?!

    I don't know the conversion rate, but it's $3.87 per gallon where I live...probably still cheaper than what you pay, but super high for where I live!

    Yes! I just filled up my gas-guzzling SUV (mea culpa, I have 4 kids), and sheesh it was $118.08!! That's $4.49 per gallon!

    I'm lucky ("lucky"? is that the word?)

    -ahem- anyway. I don't have a car, so I don't have to worry about gas prices. I just walk places and occasionally ride my bike.

    Jeez that is high! The conversion to gallons (I'm in the US) makes that $5.41 if I'm remembering and doing my math correctly.

    I'm near Chicago and paying $4.29ish.

    The good news is I started taking my bike or walking for most of my errands and work.

    If you do the straight conversion we are at about 5.37$ a Gallon in Canada depending where you live in the country. I hope I got that right 3.8L roughly per Gallon

    So when you're paying under 4$ is still way below what other countries pay.

    Yikes - guess $4.19 for super isn't as bad as I thought!! With all the tire slashing around my way, maybe it's best to just trade in my car for a nice lil Huffy LOL.

    haha, lucky might be the right word...or not.... I would adore being able to get around town without a car. I could do it for a few things, but most everything else requires roads that are too dangerous for bikes...especially if I had to bring my 5 year old son along!

    Yup, same here in Mississauga. 71L tank in my Equinox, means it is getting close to $100 for a full fill-up.
