What false hope? It was meant to be a temporary relief for the 9.2% unemployment rate that now exists (and realistically has for a while) in this country. IMO it was never meant to be a permanent solution to esculating gas/fuel prices.But I agree that the fat cats of modern business in general are not satisfied to be comfortable making as much money this year as they did last, even in a depression when most people are stuggling with continuously higher costs with no increase in salary. BTW: Post 1001. Better than 1000.

$1.119/L here!And to drag myself into this minor political debate:Quote, originally posted by Somewhere I read once »Stop blaming the government and start solving your own problems. Gas is merely a product you CHOOSE to buy. Here's a few other choices you could make: 1)Take the train. 2)Take the bus. 3)Move yourself closer to where you work so you can walk. 4)Get a job that pays better. 5)Downsize your house and cut your morgage. Yes, you've heard all these before. Personally, I chose #4 then #3.

I really didn't mean to make it political, I just meant it as a flip comment. In particular I live in a very rural are where you have to drive for everything. We live where we work, everything is cheap here, but we can only shop for groceries and Knicks knacks here. We re lucky to have a pharmacy and a school where my hubby is employed. We try to be as little house on the prairie as possible and load everyone up for a monthly trip to town to buy supplies... Lol. However, now that all of my online classes are done, I will be traveling 60 miles rt to school so I can get that better paying job. This is why I bought the vibe in the first place, replacing my gas guzzling jeep Cherokee. This is why I love this forum, helping me save money in it already by learning to do things myself, and keep my car in tip top maintennce, on my own. Again, my comment was not to pass blame, I know where the blame lies, I work at a filling station as one of my many jobs, I was merely passing on a little frustration over having been dangled a little hope, only to have it pulled back. Ok enough now on the political and let's get back to gas prices instead, I shouldnt have said any thing...

Sometimes we all get a little off topic by something. Up in Red Deer today it's $1.089/L

Envious of other parts of the continent's gas prices. I fueled up at 1.29 a litre on the weekend. $47 for the FIRST fill up in the Vibe. Better than the Monte Carlo we just retired. Would have been about $80.

As I left Red Deer today I noticed that the Petro-Can had lowered it's price to $1.079/L!!!

Jumped a bit to $1.149/L

I wish we had those Alberta gas prices here in Ontario. When I was traveling up north last weekend it was close to $1.40/L!

Paid $3.50 @ a Texaco station in San Antonio yesterday.

$3.57 For Sunoco reg last night on the way into work,on July 4th it was $3.36,I only buy $20 worth,usually right around the 1/4 tank mark.

I've noticed that gas has been going up again this week! Today my Wawa was selling it for $3.63, a local Sunoco near home was selling for $3.61...sigh!

Quote, originally posted by J_TO_ENVY »$3.79 It's been at $3.79 for about a month now. I guess at least it hasn't gone up .

$3.58 in Noblesville, IN. I swear when I arrived in Indiana on Friday night the prices were at $3.75...

I attempted to take a snapshot last Thursday when a pair of gas stations across from each other had it for $3.21, then overnight it jumped up 41 cents (removed) Now everybody is back up to the $3.60's

Quote, originally posted by knightrace »Regular - $2.98/galBPPage AveCreve Couer, MOWOW!! What year? Really and seriously, I haven't seen gas prices like that in 4 or 5 yrs now.$3.31 @ my usual Shell station in north-east Austin.

$1.089/L today!

$3.209 here as of today - Columbus, OH 43209

If that were just a tad closer it would be tempting to drive up there for gas.

3.07 at Costco in Spartanburg SC. 9/25/11

$42 for 11 gallons of premium the other day. Yes I'm trying premium in my base. It's an experiment!

yep. I thought that was good until I paid $2.87/gal. at Sams Club in St. Charles, MO. on Saturday to fill up the van.

Regular was $3.39, premium was $3.69

$3.29 Sunoco Reg

I'm lucky enough to live near three competing stations, each a block away from the other. An Esso, an Ultramar and a Petro-Canada, right now holding at ¢133.9/L for regular 87, which comes out to... *does metric to imperial calculations* ... maybe I'm not so lucky.

Quote, originally posted by KITT222 »$42 for 11 gallons of premium the other day. Yes I'm trying premium in my base. It's an experiment!I would suggest you go back to regular, using a higher octane gas than what the engine is designed to use can damage the engine and it doesn't improve gas mileage: if anything it lowers it. Just something for you to think about.

Quote, originally posted by ramenboy... »$3.65 out by oak park. i'll take it.It's dropped $.30 over the last couple weeks. The Citgo in downtown Sandwich is down to $3.44, but the one we get gas at in the next town to the west was still $3.49 this morning when I got gas. I definitely can't complain when I see what the prices closer to the city are .Quote, originally posted by Losthookah »I would suggest you go back to regular, using a higher octane gas than what the engine is designed to use can damage the engine and it doesn't improve gas mileage: if anything it lowers it.

There's a station in Calgary selling gas at $1.039/L... and when you drive west and cross into BC, gas in Golden is $1.339/L...

Upper $2.90's is the norm in this neck of the woods HEre's where I filled up my work van this morning for a measly $2.90

Here's your "Welcome to BC!"

You've been posting cheaper prices than Ontario all year.. and then all of a sudden you're 12 cents higher?!?!..Or is this out in the bush somewhere where it's always higher than in town?In Ottawa it's been $1.20-$1.22/L pretty steadily since August.

Quote, originally posted by J_TO_ENVY »$3.49$3.45

That pic was from Golden, BC! And is probably higher now with the Thanksgiving long weekend here.... here in Cochrane our price jumped 6c/L to $1.139/L!
