$1.10/litre is $4.95 Cnd. per Imp. gallon
3.78 litres to a US gallon $1.00 Cnd. = .72 cents US (today) Bottom line is it's equal to around $3.00 US per US gallon. |

Here in Oregon it was $2.15 on Monday. Yesterday it jumped to $2.25 for the cheap stuff. 2 weeks ago it was $1.99. Until that time I've never seen it over $2.00 including on 9/11. Will it never end?

You would think that in Canada, having Hibernia, and the Alberta oil sands that Canadians and Americans as well would get more reasonable gas prices! Just my 2 cents!

Gas Prices
With THREE yes THREE refineries within 10 miles of Billings, Montana gas here is $2.00 - 2.08 for the cheap stuff. Gas prices about 100 miles from here in Wyoming is usually 10 or 15 cents cheaper- and the truck it in from the refineries here. Damn state tax.

*rant mode on*
And IMO, this is about where the gas prices will stay for the next 10 years or so. If you remember the 70's (And I don't remember, i was born in 74..this is from what I have read and been told) the gas shortage hit, and when you could find fuel, it was at the dreaded $1 a gallon. It never went down by much after that. It remained in the 70 cent - 1.00 range untill november of 98, when it jumped into the 1.30 - 1.40....and it never dropped much after that either. As cheap as I am, I still see that we have good gas prices compaired to other countrys, and the popular bottled water price. (um, I get one gallon of so called clean water at Krogers for like 79 cents a gallon) However, it is popular knowledge that it is the "greedy oil companies" that are jacking up the prices, and they are the reason that the prices stay up too, even when there is no oil shortage. There is no way to shut down a station by not buying there, there are just too many ppl out there getting gas. We'll take Shell for example...I think they are pretty much all over the US...if I started an e-mail thing, and it actually got to EVERY SINGLE PERSON with an e-mail address, my wife wouldn't read it...she never gets on the computer. How many ppl do you know that do not log on but once a month or so...and all those ppl with no computer, there's still millions of people with no internet access. How we gonna tell them to not shop there? It just isn't going to happen. I can't even imagine getting one major city to boycott a single brand of fuel...let alone a nation. Just not gonna happen There is only one way to do something about that...and you need to talk to the government about that. That's my opinion...if any of my facts are wrong, then please correct me. *rant mode off* dmurphy68...what you describe cracks me up big time. I know ppl (my dad) who will drive 2 miles out of there way, and sit in line, to save a nickle a gallon...and only have room for 5 gallons. <in a voice full of sarcasim> Yippee...you saved a whole friggen quarter...now you can do that huge home improvement thing you've been wanting to do all these years. |

Well, I've just seen this on a news service here in the UK, looks like we may be in for a fuel shortage again, last time they blocked all the gates to the fuel depots so the gas stations all ran out of fuel within a couple of days and it stayed that way for a week or two. Just paid the equivalent of £5.48/gallon for Diesel.
Oil Crisis Talks as Fuel Protest Looms The Government is to hold crisis talks on the sharp rise in oil prices, as the threat of a repeat of the 2000 fuel blockades looms. Industry bosses, hauliers, local authorities, security services and government officials are reported to be meeting at the Department of Trade and Industry ahead of possible petrol price protests. Oil prices have continued to rise, edging even closer to the record high set in the lead-up to the last Gulf War. A barrel of crude now costs $41.10 (£23.09) in New York - five cents short of its record price - and $37.40 (£21.11) on London's International Petroleum Exchange. Motorists are paying more than 80p a litre on the forecourts following the 13-year-high crude oil prices. Fears that oil installations in the Middle East have become terrorist targets, high demand in the US and production cuts by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) oil cartel are said to have driven up the cost. The DTI played down the importance of the talks, said to be hosted by Energy Minister Stephen Timms. "There's no such meeting taking place," a spokeswoman said. "What we do have taking place is a regular contingency planning exercise that has been planned for months. "It's not being done in response to any stories about fuel prices."

Ther is no oil shortage, its all BS.
In the winter thay always say ther is a shortage of home heating oil and they have to raise the prices, but the winter is the only time we use heating oil. Then the summer comes around (peak driving season) and they raise the gas prices on us, every year. We need to make IRAQ an official U.S. pumping station, give those poor bastards over there a buck or two a barrel for the oil and call it even for saving their a$$ from Sadam. That would lower gas prices here. You don't even want me to get started on TAXES. God bless our troops. |
