In Canada it's about $1.27 per litre. There are about 3.85 litres per gallon. In Canada the price is about $4.88 a gallon. Note the Canadian dollar is almost at par with the U.S. dollar. Canadian drivers have a lot more to bicker about

In my Econ class I just finished, he posted the prices all over the world. Highest was over in Europe (I think it was) and it was over $10/gallon!

thats why i walk whenever possible... you should see the funny looks I get when people see me pushing the baby stroller full of groceries home. I think people are scared to ask where the baby is..

its funny.. I've seen people walk by my house with shopping carts... The store doesnt really mind as long as they take them back. One good thing to come out of the gas prices is people are going to walk more.. Gotta look for the positive right?

It's difficult to look on the positive when I have to drive my child 16 miles round trip to school and pick them up in the afternoon.

I'm so of hearing bout gas.. I use the same gas stations 99% of the time so I very very very did I express the VERY enuf(?), rarely look at a gas price, it's pointless. I need it and I'm going to get it.. So it makes no difference the price. If I was going to TAKE ACTION I suppose I would spend what little to no time I have doing massive research and educating myself as much as possible-thennnn start that slow progressive climb up the ladder to TRY and make a difference.. Noone really cares, or they would try and really do something... bunch of whinners..

It's difficult to look on the positive when I have to drive my child 16 miles round trip to school and pick them up in the afternoon. My Teens take public transportation! Takes them 2 hours to get there 2 to get home... ya ok that was obvious.. well sometimes it's a lil longer.. depending on bus delays. They catch the bus--to the lightrail station--take lightrail downtown transfer to another lightrail -- then have to get off at another stop to board a bus to end up in front of the school. They get up at 5am.. leave before 6am.. get home between 6:30-7 every night... k.. Public transportation/car pooling.. etc, jeez!
