Domestic drilling is probably the only thing that could give this Country independence once again but I don't think the "Mafia" in D.C. will ever allow that.
Filled up yesterday with 87 about 35 miles from here, for $3.44 because it was $3.59 here. It just doesnt' figure now the prices just go up and down without any rhyme or reason !
We are currently paying $1.09 a litre which is about $4.12 a US gallon.
I hear it could go up to $1.25 a litre this summer about $4.74 a US gallon. :eek:
Doesn't it make you feel great that Canada is one of the bigger crude oil producers/exporters (to the US:D) and your prices are still exorbitant.Quote:

Ok - Friday 4/1/11 was $3.55 / gallon. I didn't fill up because they usually raise it for the weekends. Well this morning I was seeing prices ~$3.79 to $3.85 / gallon.
Bend over America, they're coming to screw us more!
Sounds like down here Dave..We produce piles of LPG,it gets exported,and we then have to import it from Aussie..:confused::confused:Quote:

Its on its way to the $1.24 a Litre they were talking about. :eek::mad:
lamin8r what are you paying in NZ?
We are paying $2.19/litre for 91 oct.and about $2.28/litre for 95 octane,which is what the F100 prefers,,but I feed it LPG,have a Rockgas account,and I pay about $1.12/litre for that..Goes okay,just need to build my new engine,and get the compression up a bit to suit..Diesel is $1.69/litre,but its not economical to run a diesel in my opinion,as diesel owners get screwed a road user charge[medium vehicle,about $500 for 10,000 kms,plus the annual registration/licensing has gone up considerably too..Example...New double cab 4wd diesel Nissan,or similar,is about $600 a year..]Quote:

$3.79 up a dime from yesterday morning
I'm surprised that US currency isn't 50cents on the Dollar :CRY:Quote:
