$2.39 per gallon in Cleveland, Ohio... less the $.70 coupon from the Giant Eagle Fuel Perks at the GetGo. This is the ONLY time that having to buy groceries for a full house has ever paid off. Giant Eagle offers Fuel Perks of $.10 off per gallon for every $50.00 you spend in groceries.

Grocery stores never actually give anything away. When a price is reduced on one product, a price will be raised on another to compensate. A good example: a store has an in-store coupon for say, $.49 off on a certain item, and the "regular" price is $2.49. So it makes it appear that getting the item for $2.00 is a good deal. Problem is that a week before the coupon was introduced, the regular price of the item was $1.99, and a week after the coupon is gone, the price will be $1.99 again. So not only are you not getting a bargain, you're paying more for the item. This sort of thing is perfectly legal and happens all the time.

Here we go again!

$2.89 for the cheap stuff $3.09 for the good stuff. Just seen it at almost every gas station in Midland MI. I called a store about 14 miles from here (work) and their gas will be at $2.69 until morning, guess I'll be going out of my way today for gas!:mad:

I was in Canada this week and gas was $0.79 at liter in Windsor. Still much higher than in Toledo $1.96 a gallon. It seems everything is much more expensive in Canada. Maybe it is so they can pay for the excellent health care system they have up there.
I live in Sarnia, Ontario (aka chemical valley). We MAKE gasoline 3 miles from my house!

I paid $CDN 0.929 per liter yesterday ($US 3.08 if I converted volume and currency correctly). It is $US 2.89 in Port Huron, Michigan which is just 5 minutes across the border bridge.

Gas is higher in Sarnia than most other places in Ontario. Why? Get ready for it - according to the refiners it is due to transportation costs! Did I tell you I can see the refinery flares from my front door? Somehow it is more expensive to ship to my local gas station than to Windsor!

Canadian beer is cheaper in the US. Turkeys (made in Canada) are almost free in the US. Restaurant meals are way cheaper. Home Depot - don't get me started.

My taxes for this year - 60%!

OK - now I'm all depressed. The only good thing, the doctor visits and the pills will be free!

I paid 2.69 yesterday. Firebird is ready to be put on the road this week. I've only put high test in it. That'll be over $3 by tomorrow.
