That's nuts!! I guess I'll see today exactly how painful this is since I'm doing a transport this afternoon!
I live in...Surrey BC (DON'T MAKE FUN!) and a short drive to Langley, not that I will be driving any time soon cause I flunked my road test, but it's all good gas is too dang expensive!
nomi: I heard a rumour the reason WA gas is cheaper than BC gas is because it is poorer quality gasoline.
I don't know that it's poorer quality gasoline.. I'm pretty sure it all comes out of the same tank. There may be different additives though. And the reason we pay SOOOOO much is because of all the tax the gov't puts on all of it. Do you ever go to Petro Canada? That's the only place I buy gas, and they have a break down of how much is tax and how much is the price of gas. The tax is around 50%, maybe a bit more!! :eek: :mad:
holy moly
and meanwhile they complain they don't have enough money for stuff
ya right!! maybe if we stop sending that souse to HAWAII probably first class, the Gov't would have more money for the public!
the gas station up the street had to put a duct tape "2"
on the corner sign in order to let people know that premium was
2 bucks and change a gallon......
yikes
Gas Price Watch is now back online. The lowest US price they are tracking is $1.17 in Tacoma, WA. That sounds high for a low. They also track Canadian prices. If you enter your zip code it will show prices in you region.

To cheer you up as you look at the prices at the pump!
You Think Gas is Expensive? Think about these:
Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 -- $10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 -- $9.52 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 -- $10.17 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 -- $10 .00 per gallon
Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 -- $33.60 per gallon
Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 -- $178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 -- $123.20 per gallon
Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 -- $25.42 per gallon
Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 -- $84.48 per gallon
and this is the REAL KICKER......
Evian water 9 oz for $1.49 -- $21.19 per gallon
So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, or God forbid, PEPTO BISMOL or NYQUIL!!!!
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pumps.
32 oz can of refried beans- 2.59;)
I just filled up my van, I saw it was $1.69 at one station, I drove around and all the other stations by the freeway were at $1.76, so I went back to the cheaper station. I could have probably got it cheaper over the border (about 2 miles) in Minnesota, but I didn't want to waste time or gas driving over there.
$1.59 at Costco Federal Way, Washington yesterday, 2/16/03
$1.75 for regular unleaded at a Marathon in Fort Wayne on 2/17
Too funny! You're crazy :D :D :DQuote:

new math;)
i have to laugh, otherwise.......
Hey the math program that our school district adopted is more literature than it is math!! lol
I just saw the premium go over the $2 mark today. (Regular was $1.87). Yikes. I was planning on getting rid of my little econo-box Tercel because it burns oil, (and the only solution is to replace the engine - ouch - the replaced engine probably costs more than what the car is worth) but maybe I'll hold on to it a little while longer.;)
I do like only having to fill up twice a month with my tiny 11-gallon tank:D
