Shell666 0 #1 September 3, 2006 FINALLY! Gas is less than a buck a litre! And it's the long weekend! Yep ... 95.4 a litre! Not a $100 to fill the tank - not even $80 to fill the tank! $79.94 thank you very much. Sheesh ... my life has become a cold, dark, lonely place if I'm getting excited about this.

Shell666 0 #4 September 3, 2006 Quote I thought the $2.80/gallon I've been paying was insane... Nope ... just a few weeks ago, it was $1.13 a litre! Under a buck is quite nice. And the really insane thing is ... I can drive by the refinery they get it from!

I pay $10 for 20lbs ... If you were paying 0.75 for 20 lbs .. I hate you MORE! 'Shell'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #12 September 3, 2006 I think it's a 20 Lb bottle. Stands about knee high or so. The size you might find on a large BBQ grill. I'm in Iraq and fuel USED to be cheap. It has SKYROCKETED since late last year just as it has all over the planet. Last year gas was as low as .9 C a gallon. Now it is somewhere in the $1.50 range I think. I'm about 60 miles from the nearest refinery. The wells are right next to the refinery. You'd think it wouldn't cost this much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm about a 10 minute drive from the refinery (and for all I know, living in Alberta, I COULD have a potential well underneath my house!) But I won't complain about the gas prices here ... you're in Iraq ... that's worse than paying more here. 'Shell'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterday the biggest problem we had was the kids mobbing us wanting candy and bottles of water. I had a kid (Maybe 8 or 9 at most) ask me for a cigarette yesterday too. I said no. I spent the evening BBQing hamburgers, drinking Heineken, and throwing horse shoes. Life isn't as bad here as you might think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
