We are paying way too much son.
At the Esso, Petro-Canada & Shell, 91 Octane is 12 cents more than 87 Octane. It used to be 10 cents, then went to 11 cents, and now 12 cents. I think that is just typical gouging.

It is only going to get worse folks. I will probably own my G for another year, then it will be sold. I am getting a 600cc sportbike next, and a Civic for bad weather/winter.

it's already 1.29 for reg, last time i filled up with the good stuff (94) it was 1.40$

they're saying that we'll probably see 1.45$ for regular by the end of may

i almost think i'll be paying more on gas than the payment on the loan per month by the time i'm on my last few payments

Each fill up here in Calgary is costing me around $65 -$75 at $1.25/litre. That is for 6/8th of a tank. Ouch, with my gas guzzler, I fill up every week as it takes me 450km or so for 6/8th of a tank. Great gas mileage! LOL!

What stations/brand do you fill up at ? I usually go to Esso and have not noticed any quality issues with the gas there.

Do any of you recommend Superstore or Safeway gas stations? Or Fas Gas???

This is your first time? Where were you two years ago when REGULAR was $1.25/L?

I am not sure what Premium is here since I haven't had to fill up since I got home yesterday, but I did see that Regular was $1.18.

I'm using the system of not to look at the price. I will also be incorporating the attempt to work from home strategy as soon as it's a $1.50L for regular. Or maybe sleep in the car outside the office during the week to avoid driving

At what point do we start reallly thinking hard about trading in the g for a civic? 3, 4, 5 ...never?
Did my first fill up since I parked it in Dec. Reg was 1.20, didn't want to know what I paid. Started the car again and,.. nice ride
