If you think that gas here in Canada or the US is expensive...try any European country!!

They have been paying nearly twice as much as we are and they have been doing this for many years. Plus their insurance rates are ridiculous and smog and safety inspections very expensive.

In Canada (BC specificaly) we pay 84 cents a LITER. This equates to over $3.00 a US gallon

Not expensive when you compare it to Pepto Bismal...but I don't use 30 gallons of Pepto Bismal on a week-end trip. 4 oz lasts me at least a couple of months.
Now if you were comparing gas prices to the price of a REALLY good single malt scotch.....then you would have an argument that gas is actually cheap....

Great Thread. Had a good laugh at the comparisons.
