Fill 'er up
Gas (or petrol) prices in Vancouver are ridiculous. Granted, not as bad as other places in the world but ridiculous when coming from the states. Since moving to Vancouver nearly 3 years ago, we have not once filled our gas tank all the way up. We would fill it whenever we took a trip to the states but around town we would just put in $20 or $30 and be on our merry way. But last night as we went to put some gas in the car we decided that we have to do it once and we filled it up! At $1.10 a litre, which comes to about $4.00 a gallon (for you Americans), our gas tank is full with Canadian gasoline for the first time and most likely the last. It was hard to see those dollars continue to rise...and rise...but we had to do it just once! Soon we will head back to Oregon and sell our car and won't have to fill up a gas tank for years to come.

Wow, four dollars a gallon! I hate gas prices nowadays and since I got my minivan back in September I have yet to fill it up once! It's way to expensive so I stick with 20 bucks at a time!
With those prices it's no surprise that our bank account continues to grow since we sold our car. :)
Car-less is definitely the way to go (if there is decent public transportation)
Yea Browns! enjoy filling up in Britain if you think its bad here!! Its about $2 a litre in good old UK!!!
Yes, agreed, the UK is one of the most expensive places in the world to buy petrol (or gas). Unfortunately most of the cost is tax.
