Except for the odd station that isn't in a City/Town.  There's a Shell and a Husky, just west of Mission that don't - for example.

Love that 6L. engine in my truck.  Pulling away from a traffic light is like flushing the toilet :-[

Maybe the high gas prices will help cut down on street racing.
Title: Re: GAS PRICES HIT ALL TIME HIGH!!!
Post by: redtide on April 11, 2005, 09:03:28 PM
with the expensive cars they race with, i don't think gas prices are a worry to them one bit.

ROTFLMAO  ;D  I actually love my new/used truck.  It fits my 11 1/2 camper perfectly and maintained 100k/h coming up the conector from Kelowna!  And I didn't push it!  I did lose a hub cap though :-[  Pricey little buggers.  Look for me on the highway this spring/summer.  White 2002 GMC 2500HD XCab with an 11 1/2' camper pulling a 16' boat :o  God I love toys!

Now $cdn195.8 per litre overhere. That's £0.88p Sterling.
They are sqeezing us dry!!

Our really smart Chancellor promised no more tax rises on fuel at this spring budget.  So he just pushed up the taxes on the Oil producers who in turn put up the price at the pump to cover it.  The Chancellor then gets extra tax on the higher price!!

Simply theft!!

So, are you voting for the Labour Party, Liberals or Conservatives?

The Raving Loonie Party!! If they have a candidate in our area?

I think the voting papers should have a "none of the above" catergory.  It would win every time, as none of the main parties do the average voter any favours.
