If I were paying $1.51 -I wouldn't complain! But, I'm paying over $2.00! And
I'm on a fixed income and still have to make a health insurance
payment-which takes a big chunk of my income. Maybe when the U.S. has
unviversal health care and I don't have that payment to make too, I won;t
complain!
Let's not even go into the condition of the roads-which is part of what the
tax on gas is supposed to go to-and there's only 2 places with worse
roads-Detroit and New Orleans. I'm starting to go out of my way to go home
because the road I live on is so bad!

>I guess if I would pat only 1.51 per gallon I would be happy what do you
say
about 3.28 / gallon!! That what we pay right now here in Quebec Canada..
0.819 /

Jonathan,
Don't forget to do the currency excange. At about $.70 (US) per $1.00
(CDN) that translates into $2.20/gal (US). Still higher but not as bad.
Another way to look at it is we are paying $1.51 (US) which is about $2.10
(CDN) /gal or $.57/litre.
So we have nothing to complain about.
