    Raging Gas Prices

    Ok I KNOW all or majority of all taw members are driving in the real world.

     Recently i went down to the United States with my aunt and uncle to go and buy gas since its a few pennies cheaper then the Canadian price (not out of our way either had to go accross line to pick up items won on ebay) as I stand in line to PREPAY i count out how much my uncle gives me 117$ american ask wheither to use pump 23 or 24 she said 23.

    as we are filling up our pontiac sunfire and jerry cans we notice that its nearing 117$ in gas and think it should be slowing down on its pouring rate, OK by now its over the 117$ amount we had we end up spening 119$ ok my uncle walks back in thinking hed have to give the cashier a couple of bucks to even out the price the cashier gives him 51 Dollars in change and looks at the recipt which says i gave her 170$ american but i only had 117$ so now we are all shocked by this major mess up in counting considering there were 2 one-dollar bilsl sitting on the top of the stack of cash i handed her.

    we worked it out the we only spent 64$ in gas total and paid for a WHOPPING 28 gallons on 64$ i was astonished by the  CHEAP american Gas.

     

    i know why tho im canadain this was on CANADA day so they were being nice to the berthday people. *laughs*

    takes longer to get from point a-b but definitly cheaper since a fairly decent bike is about 200-500$ and gas for a pickup truck in canada would be about 1000$ a month

    Slingshot:
    takes longer to get from point a-b

    Strange enough - many time i get places just as fast cars when it comes to city navigating - being able to use small alleys and side streets and what not - but going from town to town Stick out tongue takes a good bit longer heh
