I live in central British Columbia, Canada. I filled up this morning and the prices all over town here for regular are $1.14.9/Litre which is equivalent to $4.34.9 for a U.S. Gallon. The price difference between us is primarily due to taxes and that's why so many Canadian drivers are slipping over the line to fill up in the States. You might think that significantly higher fuel prices would mean that we drive smaller vehicles. Not so! More than half the vehicles on the road here are pickups, the bigger the better, whether needed or not! Today, I heard that oil hit $110./bbl and our fuel prices are predicted to reach $1.40/Litre by summer ($5.30/US Gal). Now for the good news; you can save up to 50% on your fuel bill while continuing to drive your present vehicle simply by driving very carefully with fuel economy as your goal. That means minimal idling, smooooth starts, driving way ahead so you can coast up to red lights, etc.
