holy smokes! The gas price has risen to outrageous level. The latest Canadian price is at $1.10/L or $4/Gal in US.


Have you curtail your activities due high gas prices?
does it affect your life style at all?

Yes they have, I raised my prices to my customers to cover the cost.

Personally, not really a whole lot as my new suv gets better gas mileage than my old suv, so really I'm just back to paying what I was, which isn't a big deal for me.

For our business, the high costs of materials, like steel, copper, aluminum, ect, is having more of an effect. It's getting to be very expensive to put up a new building. In fact, the high price of materials has made a lot of guys I know put projects aside. Even our fuel delivery guy said he isn't selling anywhere near as much fuel oil as he used to, not just because of high fuel prices, but because there are fewer construction projects going on. (Which I'm hoping will mean a surplus of fuel oil, causing the price to drop.)

I've started car pooling with some people. Its easy right now because I'm still going to school and living on base with my classmates. I don't know what I'll do when I move on, I'm considering buying a motorcycle to ride on fair weather days.

Not in the least.

I'm looking to get rid of my SUV (15MPG) and also get a motorcycle sometime this spring. I wish I were in a position to commute on my bicycle. I can afford the high prices but I think there's a bit of price gouging going on here. The only thing that will lower prices is decreased demand.

You must not live in BC, we went thru there two years ago and paid over $5 a gal then!

We are volunteering at one facility longer and driving shorter distances between new "jobs"...

Yeah, I have an increase in job security!

Yes. high gas prices (1.17/L here) have got me thinking about my travel before I make a trip. My rustic hunt camp is 279 km away from where I live, so a weekend trip to the camp equals $100.00 tank of gas. I often now drive my wife's beige mini-van around town instead of my 4x4 pickup just because it gets twice the mileage.

Don't own a car. If i do have to drive, it's for work. Then i will just use one from mine boss and fill it up with diesel from the boss.
