Saw gas today or $1.26/litre in Orangeville Ontario, Canada. Not sure what that converts to in US dollars/gallons as I have to go snag 6 hours of rest before work.

Ah, we're at €1.61/litre here in Belgium.
One gallon is 3.8 liters, so your gas costs $ 6.118/gallon. Almost twice as much as the prices in the US. Here in Belgium it's even worse

My aunt and I filled up for $3.879 in Greater Atlanta. We also bought a mega millions lotto ticket for $1. We won $2. Huzzah for profit!

Man seeing cheaper gas prices in the states vs here in Canada really pisses me off. I mean we have our own oil fields but somehow we still get screwed. I heard a while back that it is because the Premiere of Alberta sold our oil fields to the highest bidder but I don't know if it's true.

It's also due top the fact that the dollar has slipped in value against the Canadain Doller. 10 years ago American gas was 'cheaper' than Canadian gas, but scince our economy sucks right now, well, yeah. You get the point.

Woo! Gas is dropping around here! (not much tho)
$3.65 a gallon, which is good, since I should probably fix up my car now.

There was a gas station in Cleveland that had gas for $1.99. They showed the mile long line on the news, pretty crazy stuff.

Were the people in the line having their engines on while waiting? Because that would be pretty ironic.
Now that I think of it, it always irritates me when people leave their engine running for too long when they're not driving. Like when a person sees a friend walking down the street and stops over to say hi, but it ends up a 15min conversation. Pretty retarded when people are complaining about the gas prices 24/7.
Like, is it too much of an effort to turn your engine off? It only takes half a second and another whole second to turn it back on. It's like this rediculous idea people got stuck in their heads that, somehow, they'll be away faster when the engine still is running. Like every millisecond counts or something. Did you know that a car standing still emits more CO2 than one actually driving?
Anyway, sorry for the rant, just wanted to say it

I agree. It bugs the hell out of me when I go to the drive-thru at the bank and everyone around me has their engine idling. If I know I'll be stopped for more than a minute, I shut it off.

That's great. I really don't understand why so many people leave theirs on. I mean, all you need to do is reach out your arm 30cm. It's not like you have to get out of the car (like with the cars of the 1910s or something) to manually turn it back on. Even a car that's 30 years old can turn on in a second.

Filled up for 3.499 today after the Kroger discount. First time the tank was full for under $50 in quite a while.
