I occasionally ride with a guy who complains about the price of gas all the time; he smokes nearly two packs of cigarettes a day.

Perhaps this caught me in a bad frame of mind but sounds like typical commiefornia rhetoric. Uneducated or ignorant leftist thought. Today found a non e 93 octane station for $3.99.9 a gallon. Again, it is my play toy. Much like people that own boats and have to pay the price at the marina. I have even gone to marinas to get non E.

And Americans complain about the price of gas here. Case and point...

We used to live near detroit and prices could jump from $250 to $3.50 or more in a night. My in laws are from ontario and can feel your pain. Many times driving up to ottowa, etc. was damn near in tears at the pump. A truck is definitely not a cheap fill in the US. Was insane in canada.

That's hilarious. An Albertan whining about high gas prices. It doesn't matter what the going rate of a barrel of oil is, oilpatch executive's wives still need a new Escalade or GLS 450 to drive their fat ***** kids to school,so we all need to fatten their bank accounts no matter what...

91 is the best octane overe here (and no ethanol too). about 3.25 a gal. Been on the lookout for better octane gas since upgrading the displacement and compression over the winter.
