The official gas price thread

Re: The official Gaz thread

Prices went up due to speculation in the wake of hurricane Ike.

They should, theoretically come back down but don't hold your breath.

Back up to 4.00 per gal. here in Memphis now. This time last week it was 3.29 per gallon.

Same here in Canada, they say the prices are going to come down tomorrow. Let's wait and see.

Prices are lower in Canada now. We're paying about 1.31$/litre, it's not that bad. If you make the calculation, we still pay more than you do !

I think you pay higher taxes too maybe. Thats what I heard...

Re: The official gas price thread

Yeah, we pay huge taxes on gaz prices here. That sucks.
They say people in Canada, and especially in Qc, are the most taxed in America. Not only for gas, but for everything.

Well I have heard from other Canadians that yes you pay higher taxes but that means that you have a better, more safer society.
I myself dont know. I did go up there once when I was 19...just to drink and bring my dad home some beer. He thought that was kool! I thought it was weird that in a couple of strip clubs, that the lights were on very bright. but that was 24 fricken years ago!

Re: The official gas price thread

I've put 70$ of gaz in my SUV yesterday. I was lucky enought to be able not to buy gaz for a few weeks, waiting for the prices to drop.
