Re: Locking gas cap broken
I got gasoline at Marathon tonight for $2.39 per gallon. Shell was also
$2.39, Mobil was $2.40 but with a fill-up you got a $5 gift card from a
local grocery.

Re: Locking gas cap broken
What the hell are you paying for gas over there Mike? 76 liters on my side
today would be $84.28, $1.109 a liter, and for those in the US that's about
$4.19 a gallon.

Re: Locking gas cap broken
They are gouging us for over $1.30 a liter in places and they have their
meters cranked up so we are paying for air. I got more than 76 liters
in my 76 liter tank in 'several' places along the Trans Canada Highway!
Pure theft!
When I put my replacement 'used' OEM gas tank on, I filled it up at a
local ESSO and got almost 78 liters into it. That would include the
filler pipe.
I 'drove' into all these rip off places under my own power so I 'wasn't'
out of gas.
The worst thieves were Ringuette & Fils 'Ultramar' in a place called St.
Ann de Madw that got the 85.1 liters in. It was 'only' $1.158 per liter
though.
The province of Nova Scotia regulates their gas and regular was $1.20+
with premium at $1.30+ if I remember right. Then I just heard in the
news they figured it was too high so they dropped it a whopping 10
cents.
Now today here in Ontario the ****** have dropped it to $0.76 a liter!!!
Who is gouging whom eh?

Re: Locking gas cap broken
They are gouging us for over $1.30 a liter in places and they have their
meters cranked up so we are paying for air. I got more than 76 liters
in my 76 liter tank in 'several' places along the Trans Canada Highway!
Pure theft!
When I put my replacement 'used' OEM gas tank on, I filled it up at a
local ESSO and got almost 78 liters into it. That would include the
filler pipe.
I 'drove' into all these rip off places under my own power so I 'wasn't'
out of gas.
The worst thieves were Ringuette & Fils 'Ultramar' in a place called St.
Ann de Madw that got the 85.1 liters in. It was 'only' $1.158 per liter
though.
The province of Nova Scotia regulates their gas and regular was $1.20+
with premium at $1.30+ if I remember right. Then I just heard in the
news they figured it was too high so they dropped it a whopping 10
cents.
Now today here in Ontario the ****** have dropped it to $0.76 a liter!!!
Who is gouging whom eh?

Re: Locking gas cap broken
On the way home from last Labor Day's camping trip regular gas was
$1.337(Cn) per liter in Windsor which is $4.30 (US) per gallon.
http://www.imagestation.com/album/pi...1096722&idx=22
It was $1.17 per gallon cheaper across the river in Detroit.
I think his comment was intended to show that this station was able to pump
gar more into the gastank than the tank capacity.
