True? <BR/>$2.50/gal = $40 for a full tank in a small car. For us, with a 50 litre tank, we are spending about $50 to fill it with 87 octane.Martinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428760809058039675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14492821.post-1145453275984707332006-04-19T09:27:00.000-04:002006-04-19T09:27:00.000-04:00ha ha urine! that would be funny. i have this me...ha ha urine! that would be funny. i have this mental pic in my head now of people "refueling" on the side of the road<BR/><BR/>Hope you had a great Easter weekendLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18211844508914611780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14492821.post-1145416626786424572006-04-18T23:17:00.000-04:002006-04-18T23:17:00.000-04:00okay, time for more math conversions.....canadian ...okay, time for more math conversions.....<BR/><BR/>canadian dollars to american dollars.....<BR/>litres to gallons....<BR/><BR/>we averaged about $2.50 a gallon on our trip. tell me how it all comes out. i'm on spring break, i don't have to use my brain.Ellie Creek Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808242892677980106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14492821.post-1145392686591774082006-04-18T16:38:00.000-04:002006-04-18T16:38:00.000-04:00B/C there will be an electricity shortage as well ...B/C there will be an electricity shortage as well unless we poster the prairies with windmills.<BR/><BR/>Which we really should.<BR/><BR/>We need to be looking to Europe for innovative ideas on energy conservation, efficiency and use.<BR/><BR/>But since we're currently the 53rd state under Mr. Harper, don't count on that happening in the near future. I'm sure we'll soon be smothered with army recruitment slogans and fear-inducing phenomena.Hamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114337244975649578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14492821.post-1145387996049666932006-04-18T15:19:00.000-04:002006-04-18T15:19:00.000-04:00I'm in Hammytown, right by the Loony-versity.

But I do take the occasional trip into T.O. or Mr. and Mrs. Auga.<BR/><BR/>It's hard to believe we've used up most of the earth's supply of oil in a measly 100 years. Why are people so afraid to adopt electric technology? Why aren't manufacturers being forced to develop it? Ooooh it makes me angry.Martinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428760809058039675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14492821.post-1145384784637012472006-04-18T14:26:00.000-04:002006-04-18T14:26:00.000-04:00Hey Martini - do you live in the Saug?PS: The thin...Hey Martini - do you live in the Saug?<BR/><BR/>PS: The think tanks are way ahead of us, mapping out years ago how to best take advantage of the general public, how far they can exploit prices before a massive uprising occurs.<BR/><BR/>And then there are the conspiracy theorists, who are probably also funded my major corporate conglumorates (as you can see, I have a soft affinity for them), who release documentaries on the peaking of oil production and extraction (which, by the way, occured in the 70's in the US, which obviously explains the current master-manipulator-stance of the US) and the inevitable collapse of the economy. They're fueling purchasing when prices lower.<BR/><BR/>Who and what to believe?!?<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, that gas station looks familiar. But they all do, so I'm just getting personal.<BR/><BR/>That, and you mentioned the old TO. I figure you live approximately close to my current home in greater toronto's arsehole.Hamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114337244975649578noreply@blogger.com
