Are you sure 1 line of venting is sufficient Frank? I don't bother complaining anymore, just fill up my truck or car when it needs it. At least I'm driving the truck less now, since I frequently take the car to the farm because I usually take my daughter with me.

I am VERY upset me Focus only gets between 23-32 MPG (city/highway).

Mwhahahahahaha!

But seriously, gas here is 96.6 cents a litre. It was a 99.9 the other day. Give me a break.

How about a 1.02.1 liter for regular and 1.15.9 liter for the premium. That's in Oakville and surrounding area.

Please you guys, think about this ... I am about to leave on a 4,000km trip towing a 7,500lb trailer behind my 92 351W (which gets about 9mpg downhill and unloaded) ...

Today, regular here is 1.08 ... can you feel my pain????

Let me just say, "Been there, done that."
I did Coquitlam to Toronto in 84 hours (11 hours sleep included) in a loaded 5 ton.
Calgary to Toronto in 58 hours (9 hours sleep included) in a fully loaded, 20 year old, 460 powered Town Car. That run finished that car.
And so on and so on.
I do so know how much the fuel costs are going to hurt.

Hey Duc_grrl, I think you might have to go to the bank and finance your trip! It's gonna hurt, you know it and you can't do anything about it but grit your teeth and take it like a....err, uhm , like a girl!

$1.02 this morning.
I may have to buy a Focus, to keep in the back of my truck in case I run out fuel! You know for emergencies.

You should buy one. Then you can join Chad (loudfords) and I's elite Focus club. We have two members: me and Chad.
