When I went to Jamaica in '07 the prices were a bit weird. It was mainly currency change that did it, but even without currency change at the time it was 4-5 USD. In their currency ( can't remember the name ) it was like 22-25.

We just had a $.68/litre sale at Canadian Tire here. Apparently the cars were lined up out onto the main street.

This is getting annoying! When i start driving it'll be like $5 a gallon. I am not paying that much! $4/gallon is approximately $1.05/litre. Here it spiked from about $1.05 to an average of about $1.20 within the last month. It's going to be at least $1.50 here by the end of the summer based on current statistics. $5/gallon is only about $1.32, so you'll still be paying a lot less than here. Don't much see what the fuss is about if you're getting it so much cheaper than us. Anyway, this is why I'll be paying a few thousand dollars extra for a hydrogen car and not have to pay the car's worth in gas within a year.

By the end of spring it is going to be $4 to $4.50 a gallon. That is what I was told. I'd rather ride my bike or walk.

OMG, it went up again. It is roughly $4.18 today. That's $.18 more in one day! That's crazy!

I'd rather ride my bike or walk. So surely the high prices are a good thing if it means people use less fossil fuels In theory, yeah - it'll help encourage people to hop onto their bike, or walk. However, the problem lies for people who live in areas where they either a) don't have decent public transport as an alternative, or b) live too far away from their work to make use of "alternative" transport. As a reply to this, i'd love public transport to be cheaper, and actually help encourage people to use them...but getting the bus or train nowadays is really expensive. Privatisation failing there.

Aye, three years ago city buses here were $2.00 a ride. Two years ago it was upped to $2.25. Last year it went up to $2.50. This year it's supposed to go up again. As well, a 15 day BritRail pass is going to cost me about $400 when I go on my UK trip. If governments are encouraging the public to use public transit, this really doesn't seem like the best way to show it.

For me getting on the bus every day costs about $1.00 a ride. I used to use the bus when my school was far away and when I was younger. Now i use my bike to go to school. I would love to use my car, but its to expensive to leave it in the school parking lot. I race with it on tracks. Right now I am laying off of racing as because of the gas prices.

When i am older i don't even want to drive a car anymore. Unless the gas prices go down. That's way too expensive.

Now i use my bike to go to school. I would love to use my car, but its to expensive to leave it in the school parking lot. I race with it on tracks. Right now I am laying off of racing as because of the gas prices. I do skateboard to school when I've got a lot of energy and don't want to go to first period, but it's about an hour's skate [two hour walk] to school so that's not something I can easily do every day. At the moment I take the school bus, but I'll be moving this summer and have to take a city bus to school next year. Of course, I'll get a bus pass, but $50/month is still expensive. Also, Fairview Mall, Conestoga Mall, Stone Road Mall, theatres, downtown, the skatepark, etc. are all pretty far away from the area where most people live, so getting there requires public transit or a ride as well.
