1 gallon imperalOriginally Posted by JJG43
not US GALLON
89.9 cents a liter here in calgary , funny thing is that alberta produces 30% of the oil used in North amercia and have a very rich supply of raw crude and also even more stock in the tar sands up in the north, they predict we have in reserve more that the saudi's, .........so they say...........
that works out to
3.68 Lts to the US gallon X .899 = $3.31 cdn X .813(us exchange rate-prime) $2.70 per us gallon up .20cents per gallon from last week.
The Worst thing is that hasn't come to light as for yet . Deisel also rose last week by .15 cents a gallon US , and the trucking companies are will be forced to raise their prices because of this , which in turn will be passed on to the consumer , so not only will we all be forced to pay high prices at the pumps , we will also be hit at the till, then the work force will need higher wages to cover the higher costs of living.........
And the wheel just keeps on turning.........we get poorer and they keep getting richer
Anyway folks , I'm off to The motor city today . got to be there by wedensday morning ,,,1800 miles my truck gets 6.2 miles per gallon thats going to cost me $675 Us for fuel..........Ouch

I believe that San Diego has always lead the country in gas prices. Today the county average is $2.617 US Gallon.
The funny thing I heard recently is that California is concerned about the increase in sales of Hybrid vehicles. The lack of fuel tax income to the state will seriously harm the states budget. So now they are looking at ways to tax owners of hybrid vehicles. Most likely both in sales tax and yearly registration fees.
Wasn't the government offering incentives to the manufacturers, and to buyers for fuel saving, cleaner emissions vehicles? Now they want to penalize them.
Also, the state recently changed the laws for emissions testing of vehicles. Where we were required to have all vehicles tested every other year at a cost on avg. of $50 for the test, and $20 for the state certificate. Now vehicles 6 years or newer are exempt from all testing..
However, you still must pay the $20 fee (the portion that goes to the state). The emissions testing stations that had to invest $30k in testing equipment are not real happy about this.

Our emission law is like this;
A test is need if the age of the vehicle is between 2-18 years of age.
Every 2 years and the test paper results are good for 2 years in case you want to sell the vehicle.
$ 39 is the cost of the test.
If you need repairs,it's capped at $ 500 bucks.used to be $ 200.
Odd year than even year vehicles are required to have the test
Even year than Odd year vehicles are required to have the test
But the kicker is,the vehicle must FIT ENOUGH to go on the test appartus, if it isn't well cough up more money or else no sticker
My God, I thought California was the only place to have this goofy emissions crap. Where is this? Minnesota was starting to be just as goofy, but they bagged their emissions program. Most cars are rusted out from the salt they use on the roads before the vehicles have any emissions.
