Default Gasoline Prices

Anyone in Southern Ontario care to post there Gasoline price for 61 octane and your location?
Went out for a run to Windsor, stopped for gasoline 1.34 a liter. I guess I will have to try some of the lower grades 87 or 89 octane and see how the bike run's. Spent almost a 100.00$ in the last two weeks for that liquid gold. Guess I will have to find a J*B to keep the tank filled.
Dealer has a demo ride for this weekend so I will go down and try out some of the bikes that I cant afford.

William Electric Harley coming soon ????

Electric? WTF? I paid 3.64 a gallon today. Sure it costs more but most of the people here have not had to stop feeding their families to get gas. We just like to moan because it costs more than before. I don't even have a good paying job and I get along fine so I don't see it as bad as most people think. Not much we can do but pay and go.

I paid $1.22/litre just outside of London yesterday. That would be about $4.59/gal to our American friends.

Gas going up isn't going to make families starve or people to lose their homes, it takes away from the little things. Like not being able to go out for dinner, or maybe not going to the movies etc...
Higher gas effects prices on everything as a truck delivered it. I just went shopping and I noticed everything was at least 10 cents more than a couple weeks ago.

I'm betting that we will hit +4 dollars a gallon by mid summer. I hope not, but can see it happening.

We need to go to the homes of the oil company bigshots, drag them outside and publicly execute them.
