You'll get over it eventually lolol, but modding it helps to keep that "coolest kid on the block" feel though like while driving your car.

A trip to the gas station for some 93 octane takes the edge off a little.

Do that a few times a month, and you should consider yourself fully treated.

We're always getting rocked on gas on the west coast. Oil prices drop...gas prices stay the same...oil prices rise...gas prices spike. 91 is currently $4.37 in my hood also.

you guys don't know what being robbed is until you live in Canada.

It's about 1.46 per LITRE (~5.52/Gallon) for 91 VPower in Toronto.

Not AS bad in Alberta.. but FFS the oil is drilled here! We should at least get a break on taxes. Last tank was 1.35/L ($5.06/gallon)

Everything is cheap in the States. Every time someone from the US comes into my store for oil, they can't believe its $15+/L of Amsoil or $50+/gallon of Castrol/Mobil.

You're the first person I've ever heard make the comment that they hate to drive, traffic maybe but not just to drive. What does your shrink think of your problem, does she sound concerned about your mental stability? What will be your reaction when driving a G becomes boring....think about it!

Yeah $1.52 a litre here in Vancouver for Chevron 94 octane, which is about $95.00 a tank.
