Exclamation 84 cents for regular gas!

It's comming........

Just watched CFTO..........they said (TD bank) that it would brobably reach 84 cents a litre in 2-3 months.

Thats around 96 cents for ULTRA 94! :fustrated


I'm getting a 3 cylinder Chevy Sprint! 400 km's on 20 litres.


No more driving the car to the cornner, just to get the mail.

CAN YOU SAY BEND OVER?

84 cents, no problem that's part of the reason I bought my civic it's cheap on gas. I spend $20 every 3 days so that will probably only add an extra $1.00 every fill. Now if we had gas prices like Europe that's a different story!

Give it some time.....it's heading in that direction.


I'll laugh the next time I see a Chevy Yukon owner complain when he fills up at a gas pump. (like that Civic comecial) LOL

85-90L......= $70 or more. .....and he still gets around 400-500 Km's. LOL


hahahaha.....and I complain that I only get 400-500 Km's on 40L. (more Km's if I stuff in 45L)

If your gas gauge say "EMPTY" when you fill up, and you can only put in 30L......your gauge is fuqked.

Average.......40L........I can put in 45L if I try. The most I every put in a 5th gen, was 47.5L. Needle didn't move all day.......friend wanted to see how far he could still go when the needle didn't move any longer. Got me scared......we were on the way to Niagara Falls that day.

For my friend----->

I usually fill up at 1/4 tank cause I don't know if I can push another 150 km's out of the tank, but I've still never put more then 35 L in even when it was as close to empty as i'll let it go.

Maybe on day i'll carry a jerry can and drive the tank empty and see how km's I can get. YYYYYYYYYAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH road trip.

All cars burn some amount of oil......but for you to fill up a "tube of lube" at every gas up......there's something wrong.

I don't have to top up the oil for around 3000 - 4000 Km's.....a little sooner than that, if I rev it alot.


I'd get it checked out. :working:

we shouldnt be complaining, when i went to denmark 2 years ago gas was 4 krons, i think thats close to 2 dollars canadian. i think its even higher now, thats crazy...my uncle has a opel vectra 1.6l and to fill up the tank he needs about $60-65 CDN...
so imagine if youre driving a suv in europe, or lets say a viper 8.0

Just under 4L per gallon.

$1.45 US divided by 4 = 38 cents US. a litre.

.38 x 1.60 = around 51 cents CAN.


So it's between 50 and 55 cents a litre for an American to fill up. (if I did the math right) (4:35 am) lol

The last time I filled up in the states, it was at $1.08 a gallon.
