1.15 / liter of gas?
I just spent $80 to fill up the blazer with premium. Its close to 1.159/liter, which is close to what 5 dollars per gallon? I found that pretty crazy. I could feel the screw job on the backside today.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I visited Canada for my last vacation (snowmobiling) earlier this year, and I noticed your fuel prices are insane!
Right now, premium is around $2.85 per gallon here. I can remember not that long ago that I was complaining when gas went over .99 per gallon. I had no clue.

It costs me 100 bucks to fill up my 3500, and 55 bucks to fill up my f150...every week.
I dont understnad why Diesel is more than gas. Isnt diesel supposed to be cheaper, isnt is a step befor ein the refinement process before gas?
4 more years and all that...

I've been saying that since it went up. Diesel used to be the cheapest fuel you could buy, and now it's the most expensive.  |

Definitely sucks for those of us who own cars that require premium and/or diesel fuel.

It's not Bush, it's CA. Where I live, we have I believe the most inexpensive gas in the country. It's not always the President's fault.

Bush has nothing to do with the price of gas. Supply and demand do.
$2.61 a gallon for 93 octane here.

As long as we continue to purchase gas at these prices, then the oil companies have no problem charging $2.30+ per gallon on 87 octane.
