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.

I remember reading this article comparing the price of gas to other things. For example a gallon of milk costs more. You pay more usually for a gallon jug of water. And so forth. Also gas prices haven't risen at the same rate as inflation. All that being said it makes me ill everytime I go to the gas station. I used to be able to fill up my car for about $13 and now its closer to $25 (I have a 10 gallon tank) .... I am thrilled however that I take the train to work and don't have to get gas as often as I use to ... still it totally sucks, I agree ...
