Gas Prices
Holy Shiznitt. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The price of Regular gas an hour drive from my house is $.998/L That is Owen Sound.
In Kincardine where I live it is $1.169/L
A few weeks ago it was $1.379
Figure that out, it is another hour further north that they have to ship it. My town is always the most expensive in the area. I never buy it here, I always drive at least 1/2 hour away to fill up.
When will this price gauging end

we're still at 132.1 here in Vancouver. that's down from 152.1 a week and a half ago. gas usually drops by 5 cents in the evenings, but always increases for the next morning.
OP - i'm sure you've done the cost-benefit, but do you still save money driving 1 hour round trip (including fuel consumed + your time) to fuel up? i ask this because many people near the border here drive over the line to fuel up. often there are huge lineups (idling + time) which makes me question if the trip pays.

This weekend I will hopefully be getting enough to fill my boat, it takes 400 liters.
This is where I get my prices:http://www.ontariogasprices.com/index.aspx?s=Y&fuel=A&area=Arthur&area=Goderich&ar ea=Hanover&area=Kincardine&area=Mount+Forest&area= Owen+Sound&area=Port+Elgin&tme_limit=24

I run a 250 HP injected Outboard. It is a 2003 motor so it seems as efficient as my 350 GM engine I had in my last boat.
I use the main to travel to fishing spots and run a 9.9 high thrust 4 stroke auxiliary motor for trolling.
During the previous 2 years I used between $900-$1,000 worth of regular in the boat for the season, which isn't too bad.
This is the engine on my boat:
