    Just filled up, was about 40 cents (CDN) more per liter, Works out to roughly $1.10 USD per US gallon.

    First fill up in about 3 months, took about 28 liters, so can't get that excited.

    Actually multiple oil impacts:
    • Canada - tariff
    • Venezuela - seized
    • Hormuz - kicked hornets nest

    $5.09 at any place I'd actually go... more like $5.45+ rest of Maui.

    About 80 cents more than before the New-New-New-I-Promise whore in the Middle East :rolleyes:

    I got spare Prius that I loan to friends for free and they almost always show their gratitude by returning the car with a full tank... Haven't bought gas myself since last year! :)

    Our new rule is that we buy gas if it's available.

    When prices are on an upward trend I'll always prefer to pay today's price vs. tomorrow's.

    Is that a typo?
    It works.

    Same. Been filling up once a week since this started instead waiting until a quarter tank left. Glad the Costco on my commute has a station.
