Gasoline here is $1.41 per litre, it costs a small fortune now to fill up a car. I filled a 5 gallon can of diesel last weekend for the skidder, it cost $38.00 for 5 gallons. The price for diesel was $1.48 a litre. I remember when I started driving gas was 49 cents a gallon. You could drive for a week on $5.00. Now it is $5.00 to take the nozzel off the pump and put it in your car. They are saying for people to use public transport but when you live in the country as I do you have no other way to get around other then your own vehicle.
In the spring the price was just over $1.00 a litre and they said by summer it would be $1.50 a litre , surprise they were right. It went to that price because they wanted it there.(crooks) There should be a law against it but the government won't do anything about it because the higher the price the more money they get from it.
Cheers
