when i was out this evening it was 82.9... one station in burlington was 83. something
if you put it in perspective though... we are getting a sweet deal on gas compared to europe and such areas....
although unlike car insurance if gas goes up in price your still at least getting something... ie. the ability to drive...

i'd still rather spend $100 a year for insurance and pay like $50 to fill my car though.... just makes you feel better about the cost cause you can actually use it... rather then an insurance policy that is always growing yet it doesn't do anything

How much do you guys pay for insurance??
Because we r paying the equivilant of ca$1.60 per litre for gas (petrol), and thats 95octane, not 97.
BTW, my insurance is ca$1000 per year on my D15 civic, but thats for an over 25, 5 years no claims bonus.

I was told it'll go as high as $2/liter but 
that's what I hear. Who cares? Until you can make your own gasoline STFU and take it like a man 
Maybe when the prices go up, V8 cars will be dirt cheap, and maybe I can buy one dirt cheap then, like during the 70s gas crisis.
