Gas Price Update

[GreatBigAbyss]

$1.88 now in Winnipeg.  Yowzers!

[Blueprint]

Filled up the Crosstrek at my local Costco on Monday for $1.679, best I've seen in months. The Montreal Costco I drove by on Tuesday morning was at $1.799, while our local "worst offender" near the highway was at $1.929.

All of the above are bargains compared to what I payed in the Netherlands last Friday - $3.95

I did the math for a reply in the c/d forums - in the Netherlands, gas is $10.86 USD per gallon. It's all relative - the US dollar has lost a lot of lustre vs the Euro, salaries / economy is proportional in the Euro zone, prices are spiking because of the wars etc. But just imagine what $10 gas would provoke in the US...

Economic collapse.

50 percent of the country probably wouldn't care...they are sycophants. If Trump says $10/gallon gas is good...it's good!!

That's the trouble, the World has to suffer for this BULLSHIT.

Brilliant 5D chess....

It's not far off in some places...I paid $6.20/gal in Los Angeles about 3 weeks ago. Today I paid $5.95 in Orlando, granted that was right near the airport, so gouged for sure, but still. Rental Suburban took $97 USD and was above half a tank, lol.

Back here outside of Memphis is like $3.20/gal, nearly half of the price in those bigger metros.

I'm scared to see the prices on the water, in marinas. They were gouging when gas was cheap!

I don't want to see what the prices are now!!

I've been worried about that too. Even last year it was something like $2.25/L. And it's a 50L round trip to the cottage and back in the big boat.

I mean, I don't worry personally, as I only have a 30L tank and fill at home.

But bigger boats or situations like yours? I don't think I'll see as many boats this summer

Could be a good year to buy a boat though
