I presume that is for a US gallon. We pay about $1.40 per litre. that works out to about $5.32 per gallon or $4.35US. so your gas aint that bad really.

I heard the other day that one of the reasons the oil company's use for our prices going up this time of year is the increased demand from the USA as they go into their "driving season"

heh just out of curiosity, how much have they gone up in the US ?? Can you remember when it was less than a buck a gallon ??

What were they recently, say around Xmas, and a couple of years ago....before Hurricane Katrina (thats what put fuel through the roof here..........it basically hasn't been the same since.....)

cheers

yes, I remember in 2003 when I started driving, and gas was still under $1.00

last year, gas did a back and forth move from $2.29 to $3.00.....for about 3 months.....then, they took it back down to $2.30

they put it into the $3's just recently.....fuckin' aye.
and it will keep rising.

(fyi-in 2003 I was 17)
