What are you paying for a gallon?

I make the same as a carpenter in the States

 

ouch man, less profit

 

Yesterday at an ARCO station (in Oceanside, CA) I drove by had it at $4.119/gallon for 87 octane. That is coming down about 10 cents since last week.

 

After 9/11, I remember gas dipping all the way to $.99. I wasn't driving then.

I paid $3.69 Sunday. I have been staying home.

In conclusion, since 1961 Americans have had higher incomes than Canadians. After adjusting for differences in the purchasing power of the Canadian and American currencies, American incomes per capita using PPPs based on GDI were higher than Canadian income per capita in every year. But the size of the difference varies over time. During resource booms, Canadian incomes rose relative to American incomes as the terms of trade boosted Canadian purchasing power and lowered US purchasing power. During periods of declining resource prices, Canadian income growth did not keep pace with American income growth.

 

paid $3.58 yesterday

Yep , seems a 20 cent / litre difference is normal

 

Went went on a day trip Sunday out to Deception Pass and then Oak Harbor, Whidbey Island, and then we drove the length of the island and took the ferry back. Several stops along the way: Fort Ebey, Fort Casey, Whidbey Island Stake Park.

Gas prices swing pretty wildly from $3.59 where I am, to $3.99 mid island and everything in between.

 

87 is $4.23/gallon here, $4.88/gallon 20 miles east.

 

Just checked Gas Buddy , Metro Vancouver averages $5.37/US gallon for 87

 

happen to know how much of that $5.37 is tax?
