And to top it all off, we pay tax on the tax! In Alberta, the money collected from gas taxes was to go into roads and highways You would never know it! In some places it's smoother to drive in the ditches.

When I bought my truck (Xterra, has a supercharger) in 2004 gas prices were up there, but not so much that I thought the premium for paying for premium exceeded that which I was paying to maintain my previous vehicle to keep it on the road (VW Passat - it was a total lemon costing me several $$thousands every year just to keep it going).
Nowadays, not so much. $1.30 hurts and when regular hits $1.30 I'll be at $1.40. Like BMWRider, I can't wait for this snow and cold to go away so I can start riding MY bike. Except mine has pedals instead of an engine so I get about "infinity" mpg.  Just takes a little longer sometimes to get from point A to point B.

I'm in the trucking industry. Those high gas prices are going to drive everything up. I hear corn growers are getting more for there crops selling them to bio-diesel producers then selling them for consumption. Trucking companies fuel surcharges go up with the increases of gas. The price of trucking the products goes up. Which makes those products prices go up and so on and so on. YA
