Gas prices?
 
Just filled up at $105.8, didn't think that was too bad. How are other areas of the country in comparison?

I'm surprised you guys haven't started a riot at that price. It'll probably be $2 a litre during the summer months if it's that now.

From Alberta eh? To quote blackadder, 'you're just one of those gloaters'. About $1.35 in Metro Van.

There must be some sort of local extra taxes applied to make the prices that high. Surely in a metropolis the price should be lower than outlying areas?

It wasn't that many years ago, 4 or 5 and it was around the 60-70c a litre mark. I can't believe that demand is that much higher in the middle of a global recession than it was then to push prices up so high. Someone is making a whole snot load of money from this.

It's about 15c cheaper in outlying areas like Mission etc. In Vancouver, you have additional things like granola tax, lululemon levy etc :lol:

Eeeeee I remember the real old days when it was 35¢ a gallon and that wasn't any wimpy U.S. Gallon I'm talking the real thing "IMPERIAL". :p:D

Crikey! The least I can recall is about 99p a gallon. I still reckon the conversion from imperial was a big con to make people spend more.

I just paid 99c for 40 litres. I can't believe the price of hose nowadays! Still at least no-one is rushing out to buy locking fuel caps just yet :thumbsup:

137.2 / l in carbon taxed, transit levied, White Rock. Even I can remember the giddy days of 39.9 cents.

Re: Gas prices?
 
$117.9 in Cochrane ($112.9 with your Safeway's Club card :p).

Cost me $82 to fill up - that's up about $20 from 4 years ago.

Re: Gas prices?
 
Up again here today. Now $1.39. A new record, wohhhh "record breakers"

The last time it was in the 1.30's the price of oil was $35 less a barrel. Go figure?

Atlantic Xpat Apr 28th 2011 12:10 am
Re: Gas prices?
 
In St. John's $1.38 today max price as set by the Public Utilities board. (Gas prices change every 2 weeks unless the interruption formula is used due to large swings in oil prices/exchange rates. It seems to be used a lot these days.:()

The beer is certainly cheaper at the Kirkland Boutique...however, the selection is pretty limited towards the big brands that are often low on character and overall flavour...if you want good prices on beer head to Aylmer..there are a couple of deps there that are often in a real price war.

My summer football team captain buys the teams beer at Costco and it works out cheaper for us all.

If it's not the weather people moan about, it's the price of bloody petrol. What next? Cheese? Flight Prices from b^ttf^ck nowhere in Canada to the UK? Car Insurance? Where will it end? :thumbdown:
