Default Rising Gas Prices.......

Well it stands to reason that since last Summer's High Gas prices were the results of the Republicans being in "charge"
it must be the fault of the Democrats this year??

Like Trad said, if we're in this for the oil, then where the Hell is that fleet of Iraqi oil tankers filled to the max with all that Damn oil?

If it's about oil, then why the Hell is gas going to hit $4.00 per gallon?

Yea yeah - I know the UK pays more like $12 per gallon. But we're the war mongers and tyrants remember? Where is the spoils of our plunder?

It's mainly the stock market/futures that drives the price of oil. That , and of course the biggie, "supply, and demand"

If my calculations are correct we are paying here in Southern Ontario $4.35 per gal....That is for premium

1 gal = 3.785 liters
1 liter = $1.15
$1.15 X 3.785 liters = $4.35 per gal

So what are you guys payin per gal in Texas?

Just to clarify your $4.35 is in Canadian funds per U.S. gallon. If you convert the dollar at today's rate that equals:

$3.92 USD per U.S. gallon in your neck of the woods.

I got premium for my bike last night for $1.11 per litre, which equals:

$1.11 x 3.785 = $4.20 CDN per U.S. gallon = $3.79 USD per U.S. gallon.

They had regular grade for $1.01 per litre, which equals:

$1.01 x 3.785 = $3.82 CDN per U.S. gallon = $3.45 USD per U.S. gallon.

We're still getting fucked. My truck didn't move from last Thursday until yesterday. I'm riding my bike every chance I get to keep my gas bill down.

By the way ... barely a week ago regular gas was ~$0.90 CDN per litre here.

$0.90 x 3.785 = $3.41 CDN per U.S. gallon = $3.08 USD per U.S. gallon.

The bastards have raised the price almost 40 cents (in U.S. funds) per U.S. gallon in a week. Nice eh?

i paid $3.09 agallon last night at the indian reservation. they dont have to pay any of the state or federal taxes on it so they are making a killing even though they are about a nickel lower than stations in town.
