I bought gas yesterday at 89 Cents and that was the lowest I've seen anywhere in Mississauga.
its called NG (natural gas) lol

Filled up our work van with the NG pump on our house. It equates to about 60-70 cents a litre depending on the NG price, but still a heck of alot cheaper.

So to answer your question, no it wasn't a dream

truer words have never been spoken

When I push the accelerator on the damn van on the highway, I think my old civic had better pickup. I see grannys driving fireflys passing me.

I usually wait until night time to fill mine. Which are usually around the 0.90 mark. If you want to look at the big picture, you save 0.10/L at night. So, if you have to fill a 40 L. tank (once a week if you drive a lot and you have Civics), you save 16 bones a month. I know that's not a lot, but it does add up...

94 Octane Sunoco perhaps?
I think he's insinuating (sp?) that every time a tragedy occurred, gas prices go up, like last year in New Orleans.

My Beretta (3.1 L V6) takes about $40 - $50 to fill.
But theres a leak in the tank so I can only fill half way, so $20. Its not too bad...

The Natural gas thing is cool... I didnt know you could do that lol

You should fix the tank, because that'll save you some $, no?

Didn't know about natural gas prices either. It's not bad to be able to fill up at 60-70 cents per litre, but if you're saying that the power on NG is crap I'd rather stick with gas or maybe even diesel.
