Gas here is $1.22 a litre, which converts to $4.62 a U.S. gallon. If we still had Canadian gallons up here they would cost $5.55 right now...This is the only time that the metric system hides the ugly truth, lol

We've just about reached the "peak" in global oil production and there is very little spare capacity worldwide. With all that is occurring in North Africa and the Middle East as well as Venezuela and Nigeria that capacity is being stretched to the limit. The days of a cheap and abundant hydrocarbon energy supply are just about over. The transition to alternative forms energy and the infrastructure to support them will take some time and for most will not be pleasant. Whether one subscribes to the idea of "peak oil" or not the forces that be are acting in a way to kill/reduce demand. High gasoline and utility prices are gonna be the norm for quite some time and will affect every facet of our lives. From food, housing, clothing, transportation to crime and violence. It's painful but we are gonna have to learn to adjust. Mentally and physically. The sooner the acceptance the better. By the way we are between $3.30 and $3.50 per gallon here in Memphis.  |

It really has nearly nothing to do with global supply and demand. Oil prices are fueled(no pun intended) by pure speculation in the markets. Thats what drives the prices up or down.
I hear ya Dave. I drive 60 miles a day round trip. At 12-13 miles to the gallon its costing me $90 a week right now just back and forth to work.

$3.39 here. My 30 mile drive to work right now is kinda stinkin'. Was it Autumn 2007 that gas prices hit an all-time high? Gas was $1.35 a litre then. I had a 45 minute commute, driving a Ranger XLT 4x4 with a V6/5spd. She's a great truck, but she and I like to drive in Play Mode,   ....Those couple of months that gas was high like that, I basically made enough money to get back and forth to work and make the Truck payment at the bank. Tweren't nothing left at the end... Gas here has already begun to decline. It's down to $1.16 a litre today in the city. Figures that both vehicles were on fumes over the weekend when prices were $1.21+ |
