huh? thought my mileage sucked because I have to drive a cold engine/trans truck down the road every morning about 4 miles before I could get overdrive..Then I leave work and does same on way back home. Anyone using a vacuum gauge for more mph with results??

Thats exactly why if I can I cross the border into georgia to get gas....3.40 for 93 here. I dont get it though, 3.10 for 87, 3.19 for 89 and 3.39 for 93?

I cant decide if its worth keeping the 91 tune to get better gas mileage and performance or switch to normal 87 tune and get the cheaper fill up but worse mpgs...

F the cold weather! :icon_brr:

Gas also evaporates faster in cold temps.

You have it good in AB out west in Vancouver is $1.22/L for 87 octane. That works out to about $4.62 a gallon for regular 87.
I don't even bother with looking at the price of 89 or 91 octane.

It's odd that the states has cheaper fuel, Canada is America's #1 source for oil

dodgeboy1979 02-04-2011 04:14 PM

majority of the price difference has to do with Taxes, and the BS free trade agreement

HouseApe 02-04-2011 04:42 PM

Yes taxes is the major factor its $0.3795/L or $1.44/Gallon in Vancouver
In Canada oil cost about $28 a barrel to produce and oil is at $88 as of today. Thats about a 200% profit.
