Wow, I must be lucky. For once our gas here on the west coast isn't too bad. I just filled up with $2.699 mid-grade this morning. That's down $0.05/gal from last night.

mchiz,

Guess what? You'll see $5./gal sooner than the end of the year. That's on the word of a friend of mine in the oil business. Take that for what it's worth.
this news coming 3wks after I bought my expy! As the thread says...
UUUGGHH!!

Well,

I have had it. Went out and bought an 05 honda civic yesterday. 38mpg. 5speed. That will be my daily commuter for now. Not getting rid of the expy. Its just that the amount of money i would spend in fuel commuting with the expy i can pay for, insure and fuel the honda.

Hopefully this will end soon.

Plus keep miles low on the expy.

Well it's still a lot cheaper in the US than Canada. Gas has hit $1.50 a litre which converts to $5.67 a gallon. That doesn't take into account the exchange in currency. Filling an Expy in Canada is about $165. OUCH!!!!
