Okay answer to your post,
There is about 3.78 litres to a US gallon, so as of today 1.05 per liter of gas ( 87 oct) is 3.96 dollars per gallon.
But this in no way deters driving. I drive the QEII everyday and do 100 to 110 kph, I get pasted like I am am standing still. (110 is 70 mpm)
Thats their choice I would rather save A few dollars for my Goat, to enjoy summer cruising.
Although our's is a hobby ( our Cars ) how many other people can say , "we own 3 plus cars but only drive 2 of them "

Paid $1.29 per liter in Fox Creek AB. for diesle last night. In 8 months the price of a liter of diesel has gone up 50 %, as I recall my real estate value is down, my mutual funds are down, the price of a barrel of oil is down, my pay check is the same. Whats up??? other than the price of fuel???

I am not sure if all truckers do however most I deal with just add a fuel sur-tax to their bill. At least most of the invoices I sign have a sur-charge for fuel. I signed one yesterday for $.20/km and 1000km = $200.00 surcharge. John
