I'm jealous of you all, gas prices here in Winnipeg are about $1.30/litre, or around $4.  /gallon. It gets worse though; in Vancouver right now gas is hovering around $5.60/gallon. Ouch! It's £1.40 a litre here in the UK. So that's $2.10 a litre. Or close to $10 a gallon. It costs me £400 a month, just in petrol, to drive the car to work, or £160 a month in petrol and £100 in servicing for the scoot....... Ian Yeah, but isn't something like 60% of that price road taxes and such? |

Yeah, but isn't something like 60% of that price road taxes and such? 61.4% in VAT (sales tax) and fuel duty, according to Wikipedia. So if it weren't for the government, I'd only be paying $4 a gallon, like you lucky sods! Lol Ian |

Lots of it is taxes here in Canada as well, which is all fine and dandy but very little of that goes towards maintaining the roads. When you get winter temperatures of -40 and summer temperatures of +40 degrees celsius, roads tend to crack an awful lot and aren't usually upkept as they should be.

Ian That's kind of funny what was strange was when I went to the UK it never rained. I even searched high and low for an umbrella before I went (not easy to find in NM the rain normally is over by the time you get an umbrella open) I never needed it once. It was bright and sunshiny for the 2 weeks I was there everyone said I brought the desert with me... |
