You won't believe this. Fuel has just gone down here too.
Tesco now down to 0.92p per litre!! There all heart!!

Re: Gas going down!
 

Cant believe that gas has actually gone down here (for now). 115.9 down from 117.9 - sure it will go up though just before the labour day weekend.

Re: Gas going down!
 

In cornwall Tesco is 0.94 :mad: Are you expats outthere getting worried about these prices. we were in Edmonton last year and every one was paniking about $1 per litre! Still do they sell economical cars out there or are they all :beer:

Re: Gas going down!
 

There are lots of Smart cars. They're quite economical.

Re: Gas going down!
 

I went tesco petrol station on way to work this morning in UK and was 98.9 pence a litre :mad: more or less half the price in Canada... Whats the average price would all you people in Canada say to fill the tank of just an average car there????? just out of interest?

Re: Gas going down!
 

Between 40 and 50 bucks. Recently Its cost me just over $50. Depends on the car though, Something more "midsize" like a GrandPrix is probably closer to SUV teritory cos of the larger tank, maybe more like $70.

But remember, if you actually want to go somewhere, the chances are its at least twice as far to go as in the UK.

Your bog standard compact Pontiac Pursuit or old cavalier here packs a 2.2 or 2.4 liter. A VW golf (rabbit) is the smallest VW and comes with a 2.0. Honda Civics and the like start at 1.8 liters, and Gas consumption in the severe winter is even worse too. I dont think I could live with anything smaller than a 1.8 now, you just get used to having a bit more grunt than my old anemic 1.0 VW was capable of.

Even though its cheaper by far than the UK, its one of the first things to hit home when your get used to your income being in $Cdn.

I think the roads in England take you all the way around the world to get to one place!! they are so bendy and not straight forward!! wow $50!! thats soooo good, my husband has a 1.8 and he pays at least £50 a week petrol in England.

Re: Gas going down!
 

Its only good if you are thinking in pounds. Once youve been here a while and get used to pay in cdn$, and remember that it used to be $30something a few years ago, and your fuel economy is 10-15% worse in the winter, it really hits home. Probably shouldnt grumble about it though, compared to UK costs. But then I suspect Uk salaries are comparably higher too.

Re: Gas going down!
 

Well the salary my husband has been offered in Canada is slightly higher than what he gets in the UK. And if you convert £50 into CAD that would be roughly $105 CAD!! so seems like you are deffo getting it at half the price in Canada.. thats one good thing isnt it!

Re: Gas going down!
 

Well, If I was getting that much I'd be signing up for the big V8....just not sure which one!

Re: Gas going down!
 

Not quite sure what that means!! :(

Re: Gas going down!
 

Just men dreaming about bigger tools...... ;)

Re: Gas going down!
 

We have just been into Belleville and the gas is the lowest we have seen it 95.3 - not bad!

Re: Gas going down!
 

I'm with you on this one shabby - I nearly passed out when I filled up without looking and realised I was paying £1.02!! Freaking petrol!!!! eeeeeeek :scared:

Re: Gas going down!
 

Holy macaroni and cheese - down to 111.5 here today, the lowest its been in a long time.

They must want us to be in false sense of security so they can increase dramatically over the labour day weekend!
