1.38/Liter now.

It'll probably be down on Wednesday or so.

I know it's sky high in Quebec and Ontario, and a little lower in the west, especially Alberta (although that doesn't mean it's cheap). Even though it's a record high everywhere...I'd say we're pretty fortunate over here in the west.

Anyway, I believe our current price is 117.2¢/L for regular right now- if my calculations are correct, that's $3.73/gallon US. (Since our family cars require supreme, I think that makes it about 10¢/L more expensive.) However, the one good thing about Vancouver is that we have a "buffer" of sorts- most gas stations here offer prices 3.5¢/L below what their sign's listing.

$3.70/gallon for premium at some places. The funny thing is, the prices literally shot up a dollar OVERNIGHT.

Yesterday, there was this rumor going around that gas stations were closing down. There were these huge lines and policemen breaking up fights and stuff. It was so ridiculous. My father and I got hilarious pictures.

What some people will do for their precious gas.

You're totally my hero for saying that.

The price here (where I live, in Manitoba) is around $1.13, but due to rise.

Ok...when it goes up 5 cents after two days, you know that something is up. o_O

Crazy...

We went up 9 cents in one day! And half the stations here broke the law, because they raised the prices 3 times in one day, but until Sanford calls a state of emergency, we (we, meaning South Carolinians) can't do anything about price gouging. And he's already said he doesn't plan on it.

Apparently we're up to $3.30 now.

Konck on wood, we've stayed pretty stable here. It did go up about 30 cents, but we were only paying about $2.35/gallon before the hurricane. (I'm in Anchorage, Alaska.)

An arm and a leg.

I haven't looked in a few days, but over 3.00. How much over? I'm too afraid to look. My last tank was at 3.40 something per gallon.

Yesterday the cheapest price we could find for the lowest grade was $3.69. As for whether or not it's "expensive" for Americans to pay. When you make minimum wage that's about 3/5s of an hour of pay per gallon here. So technically if I had my truck here, I would get a lot less spending money. Although my truck is home now and as long as prices keep going up, I'm assuming it will stay there.

The cheapest I've seen was $3.16 and the most expensive $3.19 its crazy.

£1.30/litre

which converts to $8.50/us-gallon (approx)

Whoa! That'd be 284.6¢/L over here in Canada- well over double of our prices! Now you guys definitely have it tough.
