Guys I live in south east PA here in the U.S.
And gas prices went up $0.40 a gallon in 24 hours.
A gallon of reg is $2.90 and I was told will peak at about $3.35
a gallon before the price comes back down.

Hi Steve..
My daughter lives in Lake Forrest,north of Chicago.
She says there is nothing like a gas efficient car that she has seen yet...
All SUVs,high end powerfull cars,trucks and no Toyotas,Ford Focus,Honda Civics..
Of course she has only lived there a few months..Maybe they are hiding...
My point is that we will have to learn to drive less and drive smarter..
High oil prices are not going away...
Lets do the math...
one litre of regular gas in Ottawa....this morning...$1.27..
Now lets see...HMMMMMmmm.4.54 litres to one imperial gallon...
$5.77 Imperial gallon /Canadian dollars....
But wait...the US gallon is just a little bitty thing....
1 US gallon = 3.785 liters....
Jeez...This is getting complicated...I'll have to get out my cypherin' stick...HMMMMMmmmm...
But wait.....
One Canadian dollar is only worth .847 US$$$$$..
Or one US $$$ is worth $1.18 Canadian $$$$$$...
Jeez....I'm runnin' out of gas...I gotta have a beer...
