I always get a chuckle when you Americans talk about gas prices.

Up here in Canada, we produce loads of oil (which we quickly ship to China and the U.S.) and our gas prices in Southern Ontario are just under $1.30 a litre.

1 gallon = 3.78 litres, so that means that we pay $4.91 a gallon.

In 2 days I'm going to Nova Scotia (on the East Coast) and gas prices start at $1.40 a litre. That's $5.29 a gallon.

I'd kill for some of that $4.00 a gallon gas right about now.

I don't think about prices all that much, too depressing. I don't even look most of the time, fill up and go but yeah, everyone's threshold for what they'd pay is different. If we all think oil prices are insane now, just wait a decade.
