$2.29 here yesterday at Sam's Club. Still hoping for the $1.90 gallon to be achieved this year.

Not really - when you live IN Canada, on Canadian pay - there isn't much difference!

I'd agree totally. While stuff in Canada costs half as much, you also tend to get paid half as much too...

Not that that's going to persuade me to go back anytime soon...

Well, hopefully not half as much, but you might well drive twice as far here to get where you have to go.

I dont really agree anyway, there is no good non political reason why gasoline is half the cost in N.America compared to Europe. Transport / Delivery costs should mean its more costly here as they have to ship it further from the refineries

But really, it costs what it costs. We all need to buy it, so they have us by the short and curlies, its not like you can mail order it if you dont like the local cost. Im just glad its cheaper here than the UK, but I got over the urge to drive a 4.0l gas guzzler as the fuel was so cheap pretty quickly once I started to think in terms of $cdn income and expense.

But I like Janes original point that at least it goes down as well as up here. Bit pissed off though that they have us thinking 85c is cheap now. It wasnt that long ago it was in the 60s, when I arrived in '98 it was 34c/l!

I'm currently romancing in Ottawa... it's playing havoc with the lease allowance for mileage.... not to mention the four hour drive every couple of weekends.


Fortunately though I ended up buying a Pontiac G6, and the fuel efficiency is loads better than I had on the PT cruiser, which would only make 2 trips to Toronto and back on one tank.

Hope hes worth it! Was the cruiser that bad? I was sort of considering a used one as a practicalkidmoverthatsnotaminivanhonest

You can have mine, if you like purple written off, involved in a four car collision on the QEW PT Cruisers.

in all seriousness I loved that car, I had the touring version, where you can totally remove the rear seats, if you need to move a lot of gear. It was very comfortable to drive, very forgiving as a new driver and as far as I could tell in the 9 months I had it from new, pretty reliable.

The things that aren't so good on a PT are the fuel economy, but it's no where near as bad as a buick discovery. The shuddering that it makes in high winds if your doing anything over 100 (though of course I never did I hasten to add). Acceleration was pretty slow at times too.

Overall though, I'd say its an excellent car. I'd have probably got another one, if I didn't figure that I would get flashbacks every time I drove it.

The G6 is great, though with a few gripes. Even with the seat raised fully up vertically, I have to use a cushion with it, otherwise the headrests are agonising on long journeys.

Fuel economy is great. I feel like I go forever on one tank

It has awesome acceleration, a very tight turning circle and heated seats, which obviously sealed the deal...

HTH

Holy s**t and a half.....gas is down to 99.9 today. Lowest it's been here in probably a year!

82.6

In Osoyoos it's 100.9

It's free in my part of NS, only drawback is the taste stays in your mouth for days................

The gas is free and so is the throat/mouth cancer.

Thanks for the info, i'll let my butler know, he said he didn't mind the taste but i told him it would do him no good

89.9 UK pence at asda station the other day!! weh hey!! Still not as cheap as canada but aint seen it below the pound in a long long time!!!
