You guys are paying the equivalent of $1.27 per liter. Last fillup in Toronto, I paid $1.37 per liter (converted to USD). And Toronto is cheap compared to Montreal and other Canadian cities. And to think, most of our exported oil goes to you guys...

I can handle that... but what I hate is that we pay double the premium for premium. You guys pay under 6 cents more per liter for premium. We pay 11-12 cents more. Forget driving a car that's better on gas... a non premium sipping vehicle would save 10% of my gas costs right off the top.

hate to be the one that says it, but I think Americans complain too damn much about gas price, albeit the public transportation system sucks, and the Gov wants to suspend gas tax during peak summer travel season? are they stupid?

20 bucks dollars saving per person compared to billions of money lost for the government... genius idea.

look at the rest of the world (price for regular/gal/USD) price in 2005!!

Netherlands Amsterdam $6.48
Norway Oslo $6.27
Italy Milan $5.96
Denmark Copenhagen $5.93
Belgium Brussels $5.91
Sweden Stockholm $5.80
United Kingdom London $5.79
Germany Frankfurt $5.57
France Paris $5.54
Portugal Lisbon $5.35
