With gas prices expected to hit an average of $2.27 a gallon (for regular) in the US by the end of March, this means we're probably going to be paying $1 / litre here in Alberta for regular, and us poor bastards will be paying $1.10 for premium.



I mean, I know it costs what it costs to fill your tank, but when we were paying 75 cents for premium, you'd be spending $30 for 40 litres of gas. At $1.10 we're looking at $44.00

I could buy a lot of hookers and liquor with that extra $14.

 

im not ready

 

you must have an "in" on getting hookers or liquor for $14.00 or i don't agree with your choice of women or booze
it seems that over the years gas has risen 10 cents every year. i am not expecting the increase you are mentioning. thank god i drive a company vehicle.
i guess the few miles i put on the S i'll pay the premium, won't like it. maybe won't do any unnecessary driving, really depends on weather and how i feel.

 

Remember he lives in Red Deer....Must be a blue light special....

 

Women will do crazy things in red deer for a loonie.

And baby duck is the drink of choice up here (seriously kidding).

 

yeah i always hear about red deer girls...

 

Just got back from the HQ meet in Escondido. The price of gas is already that high.

 

Just got back from Palm Springs...as Dave says, their prices are already that high.
I hope that we don't spend too much time (here in Alberta) complaining about high fuel prices...it hurts, but it also is a significant part of our prosperity...like no sales tax!

 

The thing is, I don't know how long those U.S. prices have been there. From talking to people down there, it didn't sound like it was a recent increase. It may very well have been up there for quite some time, so I would necessarily worry about it till it happens and even when it happens, there's little we can do about it anyway.

 

Yeah, but prices in Cali are always up there... 2.27 is going to be the national average
