How much do you pay for gas?

[tenkani]

I would totally go there if I could find a relatively new diesel vehicle that is fairly small. Oh, and a local co-op is sort of key...

[soapbox]

1 gallon [US, liquid] = 3.785 411 8 litre

  so,if gas is 103.10 (it is near our office today!) that would be...

  $3.89 cdn a gallon

  $3.89 cdn a gallon is =  $3.35 a gallon US

[soapbox]

or .12 cents US / per gallon in caracas.

  or close to $6 US / per gallon in the Netherlands.

Well, with all the quake upgrades and your highly skilled fire department I don't think the next big one will do quite so much damage. My understanding is that in 1906, most of the deaths and damage was from the ensuing fire and not the initial quake. Hopefully your building is solid?



actually I hope my house gets burned down in an earthquake before its knocked down.....I have fire insurance but no earthquake insurance

I don't know why the govt of Canada hasn't talked about ethanol or grain fuel. It could work in Canada unlike the U.S. simply because of the population and saskatchewan.  Brazil for example next year will announce they are energy independent. They run on sugar cane.  The government has to force companies to do things or they aren't going to do them.

it is being implemented in canada,it already is blended into many fuels.

  it is also recieving support in the US sportsdude!

 You bet. I have a Passat and its a little too much of an engine for me. I like the power, but don't need it. I am not in need of a fancy car. I am actually going to sell it and buy something smaller, this spring. Maybe a Diesel Golf? Still looking at options. Any suggestions? Something with a 4 cyl., not 6.  I actually rarely drive it on weekdays. Its usually only used weekends to go to the mountains. I need something big enough for some camping equipment and a couple snowboards. Overhead compartment is a must. Also I walk to work, grocery store, pubs, coffee shops, so I save on a lot of fuel from Mon - Fri.

Out my way it's 1.0607 per litre.  I'm glad I have a little car.  But the price drops a penny or two at night so that's when I fill up.  Still outrageous, though.

average price of regular gas around Calgary is 96.9. It is supposed to be well above $1.20 by July though. Sick!

I thought Alberta was supposed to be a lot more cheaper than that, CK. Last time we paid, it was around the 117 cent/litre mark. Outrageous. Expect higher cost in the summer months.

... all the more reason to buy a motorcycle!

Its 2.67 a gallon down here. And people are still bitching.

Three or four bucks and I'm set for the week! I'm getting about 80 miles to the gallon with my lil' Aprilia SR50
