another gas thread, LOL we all need to realize complaining is not the ANSWER, AND for the OP correct me if i am wrong but i don't think you have the h22 in your lude if it only cost you 52 bucks. HOw about 60 bucks and change to fill mine up. All i can say is if i have to pay 100 bucks to fill up my tank then WE HAVE MAJOR ISSUES AND IT WILL BE TIME FOR CHANGE!!!!!!!

I dont care really... I dont have a family or anyone, so Im good

Sure, it be nice if they were cheaper, like back in the days. But keep in mind oil is a limited resource. As its harder to find... [meaning less] and the demand is going up.
Simple economics.

there is no limited resources(of course i can't prove that) but take a good look around: iraq war, china's booming economy,weak american dollar,investors buying more commodities, all that plays into the price of oil going up. SO i doubt there is a shortage(still can't prove it )

I need to move to texas!!!! YEE-HAW

You guys really need to stop complaining. You guys are using our oil (canada) and up here we are paying $1.30 per L. That is a freaking $80 tank for my 4th gen. We are getting it way worse and have been for a much longer time. When i saw the news about you guys crying about 0.80 cents per L i laughed so hard.

The only reason we are paying so much more is because you guys have oil companies who are extracting faster. I really hope that the canadian government smartens up and gets our refining processes that were recently developed into play. Honestly, it would be sooo nice to be paying 0.80 cents L while you guys pay over a dollar for a change.

Until then, quit crying about gas prices. You guys have the cheapest prices in the world and it is not even your oil. Go look at Europe, they are paying over $2 a L

We're all not happy about the gas prices.

At least we're not in Europe where they're paying between $15-20 a gallon!!

Imagine $240 to fill up your tank...ouch

Yeah, what else is new. Canada always gets the shaft. We produce probably the most out of most countries in oil yet are paying higher prices for it because our government is a bunch of panzies that only care what our big brothers think about them rather than its own people. I don't understand what they are thinking.

Gas companies are 90% of the problem though. The supply is there, its not like anybody is experiencing shortages. They are increasing prices based on "Expected Demands" and based on "Future anticipated shortages". Its like buying in to those energy savings plans where you have a higher fixed rate. Its a bunch of bull shiet and another reason for someone else to stick their hand in your wallet.

If Canada was smart they'd stop exporting water and oil.

Get over it. It's never going to get better. With China gearing up for a nice consumer culture like our own and the crap-value of the dollar it's only going to get worse from here on out. Get a Vespa when you can't afford your Honda.

It takes me ~$55 to top off nowadays too. Just like everyone else.

Yah i agree with you. Also, PLEASE for the love of god, tell me we haven't started exporting our water???!!!! i thought that we still refused to do that. I must have missed that during school or something. If that is so, we are now legally never allowed to not sell them our water due to the free trade agreement....i hate our government so much.

I hate the Alberta government the most and i live in this freaking province. I have never seen a province producing the most profit out of any province and still have the worse condition roads, infastructure, hell the worst everything compared to the rest of Canada.

OMG......who cares.If u dont like the gas prices walk or ride an effin bike.....it worked fine for everybody through the history of mankind....up until the 19th century.We got lazy,and started working much further from where we live.

Every1 seems to forget that cars/ motorcycles are a privelage/luxury to own and drive.....nobody promised you that this would be affordable,and there is no constitutional rights that afford you a cheap form of motorized transportation and fuel.It is what it is.either deal with it or find another way to get from point a to point b.Scooters get 80-100 mpg, and econo cars are getting upward of 60-80mpg......so there are plenty of options,

SO PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT THE GAS PRICES,we all know what it costs,we all pay the premium,and we dont need a new Thread every week to talk about it.
