How does $3.65/gal stack up against where you guys are?



I find it a bit of an outrage that countries like Venezuela can have their people paying so little (.12 cents per gallon), when CANADA is in the top 3 in the world for largest oil deposits. By our gas prices we are being treated like a non-oil-producing country for fuck sakes.

Somethings not right, and part of that something starts with the sizeable tax our government grabs on every gas purchase we make. Bastards.

Actually it might have more to do with the fact that our oil is in oil sands, which requires an extraction process. All the necessary processing plants that perform this process are in the USA, so our petroleum products don't directly come to us like they do in other countries.

The situation is.... unfortunate.

At least we're not paying European prices. Must... count.... blessings....
