NWFlyer 2 #3 August 31, 2005 QuoteWhat? Is that AVgas or Jet A? I assume you aren't talking about Unleaded? Yes, but that's in Canada, so it's Monopoly money. (Seriously, from what I've noticed on visits to Vancouver, the prices up there do tend to be higher than here in the states). Hovering under $3 for now for regular unleaded here in Seattle (well, except for the one gas station down the street from my house that is routinely 40 to 50 cents higher than everywhere else... don't know how he stays in business... he's at $3.19 now)."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

pincheck 0 #6 August 31, 2005 I think its perhaps just a case of the States catching up with prices everywhere else its in the world. Nearly $1.8-$2 per litre hear in the UK and about $7-8 per gallon. Billy-Sonic Haggis Flickr-Fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #25 September 1, 2005 $6.19 per gallon in Quebec? Ouch. In this city ot Ottawa, it's about $1.10 CDN per liter (Approximately $4 CDN per gallon.) and still going up. As the exchange is approaching parity, that's still about $3.36 USD per gallon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
