91 octane is $114.5 here in southern NB. It sucks, but what are ya gonna do?

I'm glad I filled my boat up in the fall when it was a bit cheaper. It takes over 100 US gallons, around 400 liters.

Now, don't get me wrong, I hate paying these prices for gas, but not as much as I love to drive my G. I wouldn't be nearly as happy while driving a preass. ( the spelling is for effect only, I will buy a fuel efficient car next so my wife and or daugher can drive it. Kinda like my own KEY OH TOyota target.)
Also, I could save $ by not passing the AH who sits in the left lane on the 401 doing 105 km and demonstrating what the left lane is for.
On a straight away with no one around and an empty ( wife not there ) passanger seat, do I really need to let the dogs out? YES.
I'm gonna stop now because I can feel myself statrting to become philisophical now and I want to have an appitite for dinner. Then I'm going to drive to London to see my daughter. I think I'll take the back roads .

be sure to add fuel stabilizer! otherwise if it is gasoline you'll have issues after 5 or 6 months. if you have a boat you probably know all this...

Yes for sure and that is an excellent point , I always do mix in the required amount of stabilizer for storage. I have been doing this for 25 years and I have never had problems with fuel or excess moisture in the tank. I actually store all my motorized equipment with full tanks with stabilizer added.

Me too. It makes for an easy start in the spring and reduces the gum and tarnish one would get with stale gas. Guess I'll be changing the oil, lubing and fuel stabilizer to the snowblower this weekend.

Regular prices here have been about $2.50 to $2.69 a gallon. Premium is about $2.75 a gallon. I thought we were high, but you guys have us beat by a country mile.

I don't know if I would call it nice, but apparently it is much cheaper than what many of you guys are paying.
