Hopefully you needed that computer for life sakes.. lol

A little over $4 / Gallon in USD in Manitoba, been pretty consistent for a while now, come down a little over the past few months.

I can actually walk 3 blocks and purchase a computer if I needed to. My current address was specifically chosen because of its proximity to schools, shopping and entertainment. Within walking distance we have a Walmart Supercenter, two secondary supermarkets, a drugstore, autoparts store, over a dozen restaurants, two movie theaters with a total of 34 screens, a baseball stadium, roller skating, 100 or so small shops, etc...

If you lived in a city where everything is already there, I don't see why you would drive much

I wish I lived that close to everything....for me it's at least a 2 mile drive to the nearest store (small gas station), anything else is at least 10 minutes away (driving at 60mph). Although I do most of my driving between the hours of 2am and 4am on deserted highways in the foothills and mountains....

Driving fast is in my blood...;) I'd pay $50 for a gallon of gas if my speed withdraw got bad enough. ;)

Hey Brad, I'm right there with you. I live in the SMALL town of Laurens, SC. If I want to do anything, I either drive 30 miles to Greenville, or 30 miles to Greenwood. I drive 30 miles to work everyday also.

Well I am in a big city, but nothing is close. I am not walking 5 miles for work, another 10 for school, and then for other work 2 miles. Ill drive. Call me lazy, but what ever

Right now (at my nearest petrol station):

Unleaded Petrol: 97.9p per litre
Super-unleaded Petrol: 101.9p per litre
Diesel: 101.9p per litre

1 Imperial Gallon = 4.54609188 litres
1 US Gallon = 3.7854118 litres

(1 Imperial Gallon = 1.20095042 US Gallons)
(?1 = $2.0855 US)

Unleaded Petrol / Regular

Cost of 1 Imperial Gallon in ?: ?4.45
Cost of 1 Imperial Gallon in $: $9.28

Cost of 1 US Gallon in ?: ?3.71
Cost of 1 US Gallon in $: $7.74

Super-unleaded / Premium & Diesel / Heavy Oil

Cost of 1 Imperial Gallon in ?: ?4.63
Cost of 1 Imperial Gallon in $: $9.66

Cost of 1 US Gallon in ?: ?3.86
Cost of 1 US Gallon in $: $8.05

And you moan about your fuel prices :p
