Went to the gas station. Gas $4.65 Canadian for a gallon of gas. I did not gas up, I have parked my car and will use my bike. The car will only be used for emergencies. No car until the price goes down. I have three of the stupid things and I think I will get my Insurance canceled on two and by cancelling the insurance I will save $1500.00 this year and will save about $300.00 amonth on gas. I also take the BC ferries to the Mainland, there and back is $100.00 a week. I will save a total of $841.00 a month. I will now be able to have another 280 cafe lattes a month.
I may even become fit and get to wear my old Speedos size 32.

Don't forget the Canadian gallon is 1 fifth larger than a US gallon and the difference in our currency is nearly 30 cent on the dollar. It works out to be $3.99 Canadian for a US gallon or $3.29 US. Taxes are high but Medical costs low.
