As far as I know there is also a difference between the amount of a US Gallon and a Canadian Gallon.

US Gallon - 3.785 litres
Canadian Gallon - 4 litres

But Canadian gas prices are priced per litre, while US prices are priced ber gallon. That's the difference.

I saw 104.8 last night...

Those of us with performance (ie a real sized engine) don't save any money by driving to Mission or other parts of the boonies for cheap fuel because we burn off what we would have saved just getting back to civilization.

I don't really pay attn to gas prices. I have diesel. Whether it's priced at more or less than gasoline, I still get about 30% better fuel economy. And I don't really care about diesel prices either as I'm a commuter by lifestye - driving all over the lower mainland for work, p/t work, bf/social life, etc. I consider it a necessary expense.

I got gas in Abby for 66.9 on sunday. Gas beside my work was 104.8. Thats the highest I've ever seen.. I only live a 7 minute drive from my work and my boyfriend lives about 5 so we decided to get his and her bikes! BOH! So that should be interesting..especially since I havent rode an actual bike in 5 years?

In Europe it is around 1-1.2 euros, which is like 1.8-2 bucks and in Turkey it is even more. So u can consider urself still lucky with gas prizes.
But it s gettin expensive for all the mustangs, shelbys and big fat trucks, eh ??
