OMG Space, I never thought of that.

A $5 gas card is only going to get you 1 gallon. That's insane.

We have to be mean. Our dollar is worth something like 5% more - we're practically royalty next to American riff-raff. Peons.

But seriously, when I went to Daytona, only last year, we only got something like 60-65 cents U.S. on the Canadian dollar. I've spent my whole life the pee-on (paying for the sins of my forefathers way back in the '60's). Travelling in the States has always seemed cheap (and rewarding) to me tho.

I had been reading that gas should drop before the May long weekend. I can't find my source link (too lazy)

Went from 3.90 yesterday to 4.17 today and now back down to about 4.05 I think.

Luckily I have a company gas card so during the week it doesn't cost me anything, but I do pay for my personal vehicles gas and my Monte only gets 14 mpg... , thank God I put that overdrive on it or it would be worse.

Also luckily I have a decent job and no kids so honestly it hasn't hit me as hard as others.

Not looking at a Camaro SS but am interested in another gas guzzler and prices are still pretty high, thought this might be my opportunity to buy but they are still made of gold!

Wally world, Valero, and Speedway actually went down yesterday. They were at $3.89. But when I drove past they were at $3.59.

Debbie said across town Speeday was at $3.99.

I actually heard a spokesperson for the oil industry say on the radio that since fewer people were driving, they expected gas to stay under $4/gal. That must be a national average cause like I say, Debbie said gas was at $3.99/gal the same day across town. And others on facebook posted it was above $4/gal near them.
