What kills me is we, as in Canadians, are paying $0.90 a liter here in Ontario, 1 us gal = 3.785 liters. Which = $3.40 a US gallon. But our border area refineries are trucking GAS across the border to be sold for under $2 a gallon. So we must be paying more for gas in Canada to make up for the lower gas prices in the US. :think: So if you look at it from a Gas Companies CEO perspective it all evens out, for them. :beer: Pass the eggnog!!!!! :happy-emoticon:

I feel for you (and all my Canadian brothers) Hugger!! I remember paying just under 6 bucks a gallon out in Death Valley California a couple years ago - cashier didnt even smile when I handed her 30 bucks to fill up my scoot :doh:.. Be curious to know, short time ago when we were paying 4 bucks a gallon here in Michigan - what were you folks paying? What has been the highest/lowest you guys have had to pay for fuel? Wonder what off shore prices are like, @StarFan - what are fuel prices like in Norway and Iceland?

Keep bragging Cowpuc and me and my misses is going to come and LIVE at your house!!! :bagpipes-emoticon:
Sounds GREAT Huggy :dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool: ,, with your Canadian connections then we can go into business together - run a pipeline from here up into Canada , open our own fuel station line up there called "Huggy n Puc's", sell our fuel for 2/3 of any one else in the area and still make a good living!! Why we could even give a 5 cent per gallon discount to all VR Members and even have free Hot Dog Days :big-grin-emoticon:

:think::think::scratchchin::scratchchin:Quick question for ya my soon to be house guest, any idea if,, being an "international company",, would we have a choice between :usa: or :canada: :mugshot: systems to spend our retirement years in together if our endeavor proved to be slightly underhanded? :fiddle:

Canadian would be better! Considering a murder will get you less then 10 years, and king pin drug dealers get around 6 months. We would get told we where bad boys and pay a small fine if we said we where sorry, and would get a full discharge if we gave a few bucks to charity.

SHEESHHH,, sounds like your onto something there brother.. We would DEFINITELY wanna pick Canada for our :mugshot: time together!! Last I heard they were still hanging folks in the U.S. (Texas) just for stealing a little ol cow and even a improper helmet in California will cost ya 500 bucks (never got hanged but I do know about the Helmet laws in Cali from experience). :missingtooth:

 

Just occurred to me, wonder if we could choose Canada and pay our fines with US Dollars and take advantage of the exchange rate on our fines, :lightbulb:we could actually end up making more money on that "system" than we did on our fuel sales :big-grin-emoticon::think::rotf::178:

Was in Alaska a couple years ago and the gas was half what it is here. Just got back from Tahiti and it is 1/2 the price there as it is here. What got me is that in both places the gas had to be brought in by boat. Here in B.C. we pay a fortune in " SIN TAX" . Basically anything the church goers don't approve of gets heavily taxed. Booze and cigarettes are very expensive. The politicians figure if you have a car they can tax you to death.

Same time frame we paid just shy of 8$ gall. somewhere in the middle of the Big Sur Calif mountains. The ol 87' only got a gal of that stuff. We figured if we'd had our guzzling half ton it would have been a $240 fill. :(

A few years ago I was in England. I went to gas up the car and assumed the price listed was per gallon. Nope, it was per liter....Worked out to about $ 12.00 per gallon.

Ha ha born and raised in Canada. Even worked at the Beer Store for a couple of years when I was young. I got smart 12 years ago and moved down here so I could have guns, cheap luxuries, ride without a helmet and keep most of my paycheck. That and the weather down here ain't too bad...
