    Outrageous yes but it's still cheaper than our gas. Remember we're litres where you're American Gallons. Figure out the conversion and we're paying over $5.00 for an American Gallon of Gas :eek:

    Here's the interesting thing. Gas here is like 3.87, give or take....or somewhere around there. But go next door to Indiana and it was 3.47 on Sunday. Illinois has outrageous sales tax. I bet a lot of people go over to IN 'cause it's so close.

    For those in the Toronto area you better fill up on gas now. Prices are expected to rise $0.04.9/litre over night. There already about $1.24.9/litre now :eek:

    As of right now, here in Newfoundland/Canada, our gas price in the city is $132.8 a litre. If there is that 5 cent jump overnight like Jacquie pointed out, it'll be $137.8 a litre. Correct me if I am wrong, for math is not my strong suit, but I believe a gallon is close on 4 litres (about 3.785...), so that would be edging us over the $5.00 a gallon mark, once the price hike takes effect. :eek: I know there are other places in the province already nearing the $1.50 mark before this latest price hike.

    Prices all over is just plain out ridiculous. I can remember a few years back paying only $0.56 a litre. I want them days back. :(

    Looks like the first time I posted here about a month and a half ago it was $3.19, and now it's $3.85 here in Bloomington, IN. Ugh.

    Haa, I bought diesel Honda yesterday. Filled tank with price 1.349€/litre Cheapest I could find. Seems that diesel is around 1.40 in most places. 95E10 seems to be around 1.60€/litre

    And oh, we have big fuss about 95. It used to be 95E5 (5% ethanol) and now it's 95E10 (10% ethanol) and people are not happy about it. My bro who has regular car said he changed to 98 just because car consumed E10 much more than old E5 even 98 is more expensive than E10.

    Now some gasstations stopped offereing 95E10 because people didn't buy it enough. And now some are saying if 95E10 doesn't sell well, they'll end up putting the needed bio-thingie to diesel, since it's not said where it has to be. Gasoline or diesel, it's just a certain % that they have to sell.
    Oh how nice.
