<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The gas price where I live in Winnipeg, Canada is $
125.9 a litre. Takes roughly </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5 litres for an imperial gal. ( little larger than
an american gal ). Sooooooo, if</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my calculations are correct ( approx. ) we
pay about $ 6.25 per gal. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can remember when gas was 29c a gallon. A friend
in the auto business said,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>when prices started to increase almost daily, that
when price gets to $ 75c a gal.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the oil co.s will finally be happy, and prices will
stabilize. " WRONG." They will never</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>be happy , cause that's the mentality of big

<DIV><BR></DIV>I'll second the Prius plug. I've had mine just under a year.
While I don't think my mileage here in the north-east equals Terry's (the cold
winter seems to lower the efficiency for some reason) I'm still right around
50 MPG. Until recently a fill up has been less than $30 and I've been
refilling less than half as often as I was with the Caravan.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone about to cry with these gas
prices? In Cincinnati to day gas reached an all new high, 395 per
gallon. Just going into full time University work is really starting
to appeal to me. Sure I would make less but I would pay less taxes
and not have to worry about hiring a driver. Just one of the
pit falls for blind technicians... I moved back to Cincinnati in
February when gas was about 1.30 lower than now. Over the last few
weeks the calls have gotten fewer and fewer. Glad I have got a key
bushing job and a regulating job coming in. Sorry... Just
wanted to complain to someone who would know how I feel.</FONT></DIV>
