I know we think $4 a gallon is bad (I have no clue on conversion either, lol) but my sister in North Carolina said theirs was up to $5/gallon and they were running out all over the place. Thankfully even with katrina we've never run out places, but it's still nuts, this economy.ezra_pandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626213285612235702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-59065960691189177702008-09-15T15:18:00.000-06:002008-09-15T15:18:00.000-06:00The closest I can figure it is that with our gas a...The closest I can figure it is that with our gas at $1.459/litre, converting currency and the fuel volume it would be $5.15/US gallon.<BR/><BR/>OUCH!cdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-12706732499414823582008-09-15T15:10:00.000-06:002008-09-15T15:10:00.000-06:00Pie's 1/2 ton and my Equinox get the most driving....Pie's 1/2 ton and my Equinox get the most driving. The Ford sits if we can let it, but it does pull the horse trailer. Equinox is between 1/2 and 3/4 tank as of yesterday.<BR/><BR/>EZRA - I can never remember how to convert the prices so that our $/litre is equated to your $/gallon. As I remember it is quite complex, made more difficult because our gallon isn't the same as yours!cdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-39833405139633903852008-09-15T11:06:00.000-06:002008-09-15T11:06:00.000-06:00Gas here in Ohio is now about $4.19 at the highest...Gas here in Ohio is now about $4.19 at the highest that I've seen so far. It was $3.69 on Thursday, friday went to $3.79, Sat went to $3.99 and now up to $4.19 yesterday. They can say the price of oil all they want, all over the internet it is saying price per barrel is dropping like the temp in Alaska. It's down to like $90 or so a barrel. I got gas saturday at $3.79 and in my suburban, it took $115 to almost, but not quite, fill up (42 gal tank, but I put in 30 since I still had 1/4 tank, don't let it go below. EVER). I didn't even bother to fill up the truck. It's bad on gas so we'll just use the sub until prices come back down. I put $25 in the truck. If I lived closer and didn't have to take kids all over town to sitters and school, I would definitely walk. Or ride my horse ;) I work downtown, that would be amusing. But I did see a guy riding his horse through downtown, right on the main street about a year or so ago. I was in awe. Horse was perfectly calm, looked wellfed and happy. I was just astonished. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, yeah. lol How much will all that gas last you?ezra_pandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626213285612235702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-51448219303958978142008-09-13T05:32:00.000-06:002008-09-13T05:32:00.000-06:00Ouch!!!!

We used to do just fine with the four of us living on my hubby's income, but now, we are stretched tight. AWFUL!!!!<BR/><BR/>I wanted to tell you that you are better than you think, in regards to school/studying, if you are learning a foreign language(which one is it by the way?), because as adults, we have either lost, or almost lost, our language aquisition device, which is a part of our brain that aids in learning new languages, or sounds.<BR/><BR/>So...kudos to you, my friend! Oh, and I am studying social work and psychology :)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682815635702122191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-23181029917521361392008-09-12T13:21:00.000-06:002008-09-12T13:21:00.000-06:00LOL you sound just like me.

Crops have good years and bad, why not right? Or the delivery truck cost more to fill. If it is costing waitresses extra money to drive to work, then I guess they should get a raise and that hamburger should cost us more too! Rrrrr....I could go on and on. <BR/><BR/>Good job on saving some $$! Stick'em where it hurts! lolChelsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045101705493626989noreply@blogger.com
