Fort Frances, ON its $1.40/L for gas and $1.42/L diesel. Thats $5.30 and $5.37 a gal. I'm going really easy on the fuel pedal now. I've been able to squeeze about 230-250 miles for half a tank out so far on average.

$3.98 USD/gallon at the Hess station near me in Central Florida
This is the absolute outcome of our currency crashing. It's not the Oil execs...it's not the Saudi's....it's the men behind the curtain who run the money show...The Federal Reserve and the Bankers who are running the global money supplies. The USD is the ROOT of the problem. 30+ years of nothing but paper crap that was forced on the world (since 1971).
I expect a gallon of gas to be at $6 USD before years end, and at least $8-10 USD in the second quarter of 2009, but who knows what gas will be in other currencies.
I don't care how much Ben Bernanke or Henry Paulson talk about a "strong dollar policy", it isn't going to happen. It's like a kid who is getting bad grades and expects his grades to get better by saying 'I will get better grades' and doing nothing about it.
Bernanke will have to raise interest rates to 10% or higher for the dollar to gain any ground. They're at 2% right now... We're screwed.

Sure they are affecting the demand, but not this quickly, I mean we're talking billions of dollars a day increases. The massive increases of food and fuel prices, this quickly, are being caused by the outcome of what Central Banks, (who have controlled the world for the past 100 years-- mainly the ones who own London and NY) have done: pumping liquidity into the system, crashing the currencies and then slowly implementing more control, moving toward a 1 currency system for the world (many say this is all by design, who knows if it's just human nature to want more and more control). Just like the cartoon Ren and Stimpy, these people want to rule the world. But now.... they are up against the Chinese bankers, and India and Iran and Venezuela, etc etc... And they are up against the fact that the internet has educated millions about their operations and plans.
The root of the problems of everything we are dealing with today, from oil to food to terrorism, has to do with control of the money supplies. They own the media that keeps us scared of people with towels on their heads, they keep us fighting in wars that take the children away in the name of patriotism, etc.

We in trouble! But, like Ireland just did the other day by voting against the Lisbon Treaty for the EU, we can revolt and rise up against the tyrants to take back the land for our children and families.

Back on topic, gas here in Calgary is 1.309/litre on average for 87 octane.

Anyhow, back to gas...
Paid $3.97 here in Dallas the other day for 87.
Heard something on the radio the other day about gas stations trying to start gas wars again. Not really like it was in the old days, or so I've heard. A buddy of mine told me of the olden times where he once paid $.24 a gallon while his local stations were price warring.
This was obviously a long time ago. The pricing they're trying these days is much more temporary, and is designed to get people in the doors so the store can offset the money lost on gas prices with purchases of sundries, drinks, snacks, etc.
A caller to the radio station said that he stopped at a station near Love Field airport and paid $3.67 for regular. That was yesterday, I believe.

Bunch of whiners. We were paying $7/gal in the summer here in Vancouver, Canada. Now its back down to a cheap $6/gal so we can relax. This is a pointless thread as it just makes people mad at the raping they are getting at the pump.
