Prices Here are about 85-89 cents a liter which all you guys can imperialize if you like. Basically $40 gets me about 475 Km of driving and a full tank, but it's pretty brutal on the old wallet. I need to start collecting gas money for giving people rides.

it's 92.5 cents a litre here! Costs $50 to fill my truck (it has a small tank)

It's $2.37 here in Eugene

When i was in the Lowermainland earlier this month, the price was up over a dollar. The signs had to have the decimal removed to be able to use all three digits for the number of cents.

Just did a tank (36 litres) for $30 @ 5.25 L/100 km (~45 mi/gal). This tank I should hit under 5 L/100 km.

I drive a 1995 Ford Probe SE, but I don't have a pic of it handy. Here's what I take to work every day:

I have a 1997 Toyota Tacoma. I can beat that thing to a pulp and it won't quit. I have about 150,000 miles on it and it gets around 21mpg. Fuel prices here in New Hampshire are around $2.09 a gallon for regular, though I paid $1.99 in Mass last week.

Heres a pic of my truck, the silver Dodge Dakota, at a rest area north of Lake Louise. I am amazed what a difference 7,000 ft of elevation makes in performance. Gas in Ketchikan is $2.40/gal.

Wish there was a train around here... there are two tracks through town, but one only goes as far as Fremont Pass (the rails down the other side to Copper wre removed in the thirties) and the other runs through Malta on its way to Avon and Vail. It's been mothballed for five or six years.

Gas in Leadville is $2.32. Gas in Aspen is $2.77. Gotta love the Hollywood complex over there. They're closer to the refinery than we are. (That's around 71 cents CDN/litre in Leadville, if I have the current exchange rate.)

I found gas going across BC on my way up here for $1.30 CDN/L. Which is about 4.36 USD/GAL. But they could charge whatever they wanted they were the only gas for 100 km in either dirrection.

Holy crap! Where? It's still hovering about .92/L here.

In the strech between Jasper and Prince George. But every where I went in BC it was really high, alberta for the most part was arround 80-90 cents but BC was 95-1.05. Im sure that is attributed to taxes but it makes it an expensive drive.

This is my little red truck outside my house. It's a 97 Suzuki sidekick. Has a 1.6 litre engine and has 56,000 km on it. Does very well getting me to work and the hockey rink. It gets almost 30 MPG. Also in the picture is my 5 year old son who shouldn't be riding in the street.

I have to ask... do you still have bikes with thousands of miles still on them? Or did the rides around the lake, turn into drives around the lake. :)

Just a little blurb about my truck that I thought I would add. I have a 2001 with the 4.7 V8, 5spd Manual, with a cold air intake and other than that not much different than stock. I have taken good care of it from a maintnance stand point but I have also used it way above what I thought it was capible of. Last summer I pulled an early '80s dodge full ton truck that had a 5 horse trailer behind it that was loaded with horses over the crest of Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado and had no problems doing it in high gear ratio on the transfer case. We estimated the weight to be about 13,000 pounds. I am at about 85k miles and have not had many major problems except for rear ends, the first one was a factory defect and the second was from a dealership that shimed the diff wrong when they installed it. Come to think of it I have had more dealership problems than manufacture problems. I am thrilled with my truck especially knowing that it can pull just about any thing.
