I seriously might have to start TTC-ing to work a lot more because of this.

 

that is pretty sickening....140/barrell......It hurts me everytime I go to the station too.......my baby is o sooooo thirsty!!! thats why I have my 07' cbr600RR......if I actually ride it for one month exclusively, I spend less on my bike payment with gas for it for the month then I do for gas for the 8 for a month.....pretty crazy.

 

LMAO...: that is just too funny. When I told my dad our gas is at 1.35 he died...he's in Florida and gas prices are high there too but not like ours...

 

Yup, it's disgusting. I love the part of the picture that has the "We're sorry for any inconvenience"! LMAO Yeah...you must be losing sleep on top off all those $$ bills you're hosing us for. $70 for 47 litres...well -- I bought my 8 knowing full well it was going to be a thirsty little bitch. Thing is, we recently drove to Magnetewan which is about 3.5 hours north of T.O. and it took a half a tank. I asked our friends how much they used (VW golfs) and they said a half tank too. Thing is, when you're filling with Premium, it's like $0.10 or more a litre!

 

It costs me 78$ to fill up.

****, costs me 15$ minimum to and from work.

Thats with no side trips.

 

A barrel of oil is 42 gallons. That means the raw materials at $140 a barrel is $3.33. But we only get 5-35% gasoline out of a barrel...

The prices we're currently paying do not yet reflect $140 costs, as you need to price in transportation and refining costs, plus taxes.

 

i just filled up the gas last night and i was about to cry...

 

buy stock in big oil. problem solved.

 

^ Can't afford those either!

 

Yea this is really a b*tch. I no longer take my 8 for most in-town trips... end up in the wife Del Sol

Costs half as much to drive though...

 

buy a civic, problem solved

 

^ That's what we did

Well at least my 8 will last longer...

 

that is not a valid solution (see my sig for further explaination).

 

remember just a few short years ago when gas was 0.68/L

 

Stop using premium for the time being.

 

i vote go to canadian tire or walmart and purchase a drill pump, hose fittings and tubing. Go out every 3 nights and all of a sudden your gas bill goes down hundreds per year.

 

I've started using 89 octane. I was using the Sunoco 94 but it was WAY too expensive and really not necessary. Maybe once in a while she'll get a treat

 

^^I did the same but do the 91 every other tank or so... 80% 91 ... It cost me like $15 just to drive to Toronto now!!!$30 day trip just in gas...

 

I hear ya. I commute to Burlington from TO each day! Luckily, I travel across Canada 30 weeks of the year so I'm only forking over for 26 weeks worth of daylight robbery. Apparently though, the price is set to decline pretty quickly given the recent annoucements from King Abdullah in Saudi Arabia. They say they're going to up production from 9 million barrels a day (WTF???) to 9.7. Where the hell is all this oil coming from!? Did anyone else hear about the hydrogen 8 they're rolling out in Japan soon?

 

it's nearly $5 U.S./ gallon here in so cali. that's almost $80 U.S.. so, stop you're bitching already...

 

Yuck. LIke I said though, I knew getting into this that it wasnt going to be cheap and realistically, it aint that bad.

 

Fuel in Montreal avg for the last few months 1.40cents a liter (went over 1.50cents at one point).

1.40 x 3.8 litres = 5.32$ a gallon.

We've been paying this for months.

Can I bitch now ?

 

That's less than what we pay up in Canada...

 

Yup. It's true. The numbers don't lie.
