I just looked over my fuel records. The least expensive gasoline that I have bought in the past 10 years here in mid-Canada was $0.55 per liter. The most expensive is $1.35 per liter. Those work out to about $2.08 and $5.10 per US gallon. The current price in Winnipeg is $1.219 and in Kenora whe

Yeah, the 99 cent days were nice. I remember thinking there would be a war if the price of diesel went higher than $1.25. Truckers did march in Washington when the prices really got high after Katrina... On Sat, Jun 2, 2012 at 11:23 AM, Allan Streib wrote: > When prices are fluctuating, I tr

When prices are fluctuating, I try to "dollar cost average." Rather than fill the tank, I buy a fixed dollar amount of fuel. That way I end up buying more fuel when it's cheaper, and less when it's expensive. Of course when prices are trending mostly up it makes more sense to fill up. Sort of a

I remember Diesel going over $5 in summer of 08 It really hurt. I had been putting $20 in a 5 gallon can, and when that went under 4 gallons, I went to $25 to get around 4 gallons. My recollection is that Diesel hit $5.239 or $5.259. I think gasoline hit $4.999 I remember gasoline being $1

So no, fuel prices have NOT doubled in the last 2 years, in 2005 I paid $2.57/gal for diesel, I bought my truck about 1999, I distinctly remember filling up at $0.99/gallon, and getting change for a $20 bill. So, fuel _has_ quadrupled since then, I often don't get change for $100. (A full-up wo

Interesting, ours hasn't been under $2/gal that I can remember since 2005. Of course I don't really pay attention to the price of gas, I may have missed it. -Curt Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2012 21:44:55 -0600 From: Craig To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: [MBZ] Petroleum prices [was: Re: ti
