I don't even look at gas prices anymore, I just look at prices of lube. I know I need some every time I go to the pump. I guess that's my own fault for buying a F150 lol. Topped up the other day and it cost like $80. I can get close to $200 if the tank is closer to empty.

how big is the gas tank?

unless you are buying premium, there is no way it is close to 200 bux

These guys just pumped over $105 USD into a 32-gallon Dodge Ram tank...

$105 USD is ~$134 CAD and some pickup trucks have auxiliary fuel tanks so it doesn't seem so far fetched to me. Yeah, Premium will get you a lot closer to $200.

Gas is more expensive here. Regular is like C1.10 per litre in Timmins.

15 cents now. The sky is falling... :D

Red Squirrel, don't move down here with you huge F150 truck..lol.

Was $2.59 yesterday at Safeway. The Arco /AM-PM just down the street has gone from $2.59 to $2.65. Gas in the small town where I live is at $2.79, but I expect it to go up 20 cents, just because they can.

I was carrying my groceries up the stairs (I only do one trip, so I had like 10 bags in one hand) and I guess I didn't have a good grip on the bag with my eggs. Dropped it and they all broke. That has never happened before. :(

And the wife loves driving the BM 335 at 90 MPH around Atlanta. Just drove from one side of the city, had lunch and drove back in 90 minutes.

First, there were people passing her. Second, that was only 5-10 more than the majority. Come to Atlanta if you have a need for speed.
90 is fast for Atlanta. I would say 70-75 is more majority. 90 is about 20 miles over and will get you ticket every time. 90 is not the normal flow of traffic speed for Atlanta.

As long as there is no congestion you will ALWAYS have traffic moving 20MPH over the limit in the fast lane around the perimeter and all the Interstates leading to it from the outside. When they raised the surrounding limits to 70MPH years back people just started driving 20 over that. Not saying everyone is doing it, just saying to stay out of the fast lane if you aren't because Atlanta is crazy. It's enough that there's no way a police ticketing campaign with all hands could make a dent in it.

Every Saturday we drive back from the Windy Hill location (75/285) to the most northern end of Gwinnett county. And my description is exactly how it goes every freaking Saturday.
