You want to hear something DISGUSTING:

My close friend who is stationed oversea's in Baghad Iraq told me that gasoline is .17 cents a gallon...makes you wonder huh!!! Now that's just downright WRONG!!!

.17 cents??? wow

1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters
=0.0449 cents a liter?
~5cents a liter

If gas was 5 cents a liter, I could do so much more.

11 cents a gallon when I was overseas in Dubai!
 
boycotting would not help, since on the open market a barrel of crude oil will cost 118.00 (higher than it's ever been) because the demand seems to be outstripping the supply. What does not help is that OPEC ( all the major oil producing countries) have agreed to set production limits, and this has caused the price to go higher than it ever has. Also China has become an industrial giant, consuming huge amounts of oil just in the last 15 years. The price at the pumps goes up and down for short periods of time, because each of the major oil companies is just trying to gain alittle more market share over it's competitors.

So the problem with gas being so expensive is not here but overseas.

and it's only going to keep increasing.. :D
 
actually, it has been said that the price of crude oil will have a high likeliness of decreasing after the Beijing Olympic games; down to about 100 or even 90 cents. So that's some good news for all of us.

All kidding aside I have high hopes that it will go down by 09,2010, as an additional 6 million barrels will come online by then and hopefully the new refinary in ontario will be completed. Unless India/China suck it all up.

Filled up at $1.217! this morning:(
 
darn, parents made me fill up the van since i drove it the most this week -- $70.01 total for about 55L >__>.

I can imagine the increasing gas prices will have a profound effect on tourisim this year. Some tourist places are going to feel a hit.

oh yeahhhhh you're right about that
minus filling up the tanks in our cars, the rise of coach buses, trains, AIRPLANES =(

and the increase in everyday prices... like food...
 
Yep.. Because when the gas price goes up, so does the price of diesel.

And if you got it. A trucker bought it. So the trucker increases price, so then the company increases price etc....

I wonder what the breaking point will be. I mean how much more can gas go up before the consumer finally says enough!..

I remember paying 52c a litre when I started driving. 10 years ago.

And remember it takes 2.5 times more crude oil to make diesel then gas. So in reality its not as efficient! a 50mpg diesel vw in real time is actually getting 15-20mpg when converted to crude.

I'm already seeing ppl slow down and driving the speed limit due to the price of gas. and noticed the slower drivers r driving slower argh!!!! I'm all for the speed limit but not 10-25kph under! sorry for venting.
 
The gas is no question way too high, but they have done a good job at making people think its not that bad when they drop it to th high 80's and 90's a litre. I was at esso ahwile ago and some guy waas talking about how nice it was that the gas came down and now was 93.5 a litre as per the week before when it hit 105. I actuallly lost it, and told him he was kidding himself if he though this was a deal, it total bs that they can do this and now people thinnk that anything under 100. is good. They have brainwashed you people, as Bigfisherman said it was in the 50's 10 years ago, and I dont care what anyone says its never going to go down that low again.
I have found only one way to beat the price of gas in the city, I know a guy in Caledonia that has been giving me native price on gas for the last 6months, and its worth the 25min drive to fill up, but you also have to take care of the people that can i mean its nothing off his back to leek the other way, so when I say fill it and give him $5 extra for pumping it no big deal. I check out the bill and saw if I really did save anything compared to the city and with my 6cylinder car im saving $10+ on top of what I pay and the extra $5.
I hope everyone can see their are ways around the stupid prices, other than syphoning gas lol.

The gas prices are insane recently!!! It costs too much to go anywhere. I go on less fishing trips due to the high gas prices. =(
 
One of my buddies works for an oil company in calgary and he said that sometimes the company will say (not sure how this works exactly) they have less oil than they do then the price goes up and BINGO we have 3 million barrels. I don't think that the guys who own the company or who work in a higher position have trouble paying for gas so they don't car.

On a different note I wonder when people are going to start coming out with electric outboards?
 
Hey while you onn that topic, I know a guy back home (a farmer) who has been running his tractor on used deep fryer greese for years. When I was down last summer he had one of his outboards running offf this stuff, I guess itss a little bit of work gettting it all made, but restaurants give it away for free so It would be worth it. This farmer had a new VW Golf, and runs his car off it, and I think thats preetty sick. Im not sure if he had to replace all the seals and gaskets because I think that it burns a little hotter than normal gas.
Either way I wish i had the money and space to do it myself, no more buying gas just the ingredients to make it and getting the main part for free.
If gas goes up alot this summer we should all get some big fishing excursion together and We could rent a big old diesal bus. If we chipped in it would be cheap and the possibilities are endless on were we could go.
Just a thought

Are you sure you don't mean that it take 2.5 times more crude to make gas than diesel? Diesel has way less refinement than diesel, so you would think that you need more to make gas.
