120ish here on the Rock. Fully expect it to hit $1.40+ at some point during hurricane season. (That being the excuse de jour for price gouging these days.)

£1 a litre for Optimax here at the moment and considering my Subaru has a penchant for the stuff(28mpg if driving Miss Daisy, 20mpg if having a play in Wales,sub 20's per lap at the Nurburgring in Sept,probably closer to 14mpg per lap!).
Would love to pay $1.10 to $1.20 per litre for fuel! :mad:

We have been in the Belleville, ON area for two weeks now and when we arrived gas was $105.7. It then went down to $103.6, then went soaring to $109.9, now it is back down to $105.6.

Prices seem to go up and down immediately there is a change in oil prices. But at least we see it go down quickly, which is more than you can say in the UK. There they are quick to put it up, but slower to react when it goes down!

Try earning UK£'s and paying British pump prices. :mad:

If I get the same job in Canada(when we finally get there!) as I currently have in the UK,I'll be on about UK£11,000 p.a more in Canada. ;) than in the UK.

When we were there last year(London,On),my cousin was moaning about paying 89c a litre,until I told him how much it was in the UK and he stopped moaning for a while!

At least your's goes down as well as up,it just keeps going up and up in the UK,still I suppose Blair's got to pay for his illegal war somehow!

Wow! Something like $22,000 pa more here in Canada than in the UK? In my limited experience that sounds exceptional to me. The norm is for things to be so not so cheap once Canadian dollars are being earnt. Still you did say if. Hopefully you will.
