Better be happy with current prices, cause their going to go up again.
Might take a year or two. The Dragon is hungry.
BEIJING, Aug 11 (Reuters) - China's crude oil imports raced to a record in July, up 42 percent from last year's weak base, while refiners raised output to their highest yet as stimulus measures stoked demand in the world's No. 2 consumer.
China, which has effectively overtaken Japan as the world's No. 2 crude buyer, imported 19.63 million tonnes, or 4.62 million bpd, of crude last month, up 14 percent from June and easily surpassing the previous record high in March 2008 of 4.07 million bpd
New car sales in the world's No.2 market leapt by nearly 71 percent on year to 832,600 units.

hey
Im from Thunder Bay and am a 09 Hemi owner. On the contrary, there is alot to see and do up here. I have frewuented Duluth many times and yes, i agree thier harbour is great for entertainment, however, the scenery on the lake is beautiful. if you get down to the marina, check out the sleeping giant. There are also other attractions like, Terry Fox Lookout, sleeping giant provincial park and eagle canyon suspension bridge about an hour drive east. http://www.eaglecanyonadventures.ca/
for all you southerners, we are not wearing any parkas at the moment,l it has actually been over 80 degrees this past week and a half.
Brummo...
Gas is about $1.04 a litre up here right now. last week i drove 480 km on the highway and averaging 21 mpg on the hemi.
Hopefully this helps ya out. if you happen to see a sunburst orange 09 sport in your travels here..givve a honk..I'll wave back. there are only two in town so you have a 50% chance it will be me. :-)
cheers!

Maybe I am thinking of Sudbury as the place with nothing really. Hmm been so long since I have been either of those places. Stayed in Thunder Bay in a motel and one night was not sleepy had to go kick some guy doing it with some native Canadian chick or whatever the proper terminology is these days, bummer for him looked like he was almost done when I walked up. LOL It was funny, her back must have hurt I had a plastic bed liner bumpy and hard. I guess when you are working you have to put up with stuff. I say that cuz he was yelling at her that he should get his money back then he tried to get his 20 bucks from me, he said I messed things up for him, punched his drunk *** in the face and called the cops said some guy was passed out. He was touching me and stuff trying to get money from me. Hell he owes me for the room the way I look at it. LOL Cops came he was wandering around looking for Candy...like it was her real name.

Heading out in the morning from Superior, WI. Been a good trip so far. Been getting an average between 17-19 mpg. Not to shabby I'm thinking.
Scristof, I'll be looking for your truck..
Should have taken the wax advice...bugs were horrible up to Duluth...

Well, we just got up here today. We are satying at the Valhalla. Pretty nice place, more than I wanted to spend, but pretty nice. It's my wife's birthday and thought we'd splurge a little. We are probably leaving on Wed. Just got some brew for in the room and popped the top.MMMMM.. I filled up in Two Harbors and again just before we hit the boarder. Only out 6 gallons in, and was getting 21 on the way up, man I couldn't believe it. Getting about 19 now with the little town driving.
Well, now you know where I am at in this town. Some guy was admiring my truck as I left the LCBO.. He had some kind words and liked the truck. I've seen a few today.
