    . . . that during a rare meeting of two Prius owners on opposite sides of the same Costco gas pump on April Fool’s Day - that said two owners could really piss off an SUV driver with loud comments to each other like . . . “Hey, that’s a nice car . . . but I hear that every once in a while you have to put gas in them things†. . . “Yah, another twenty dollar fill-up and I’ll be good for two weeks and 500 more miles†. . . “Unfortunately I only got 45 miles to the gallon this time around†. . . “Ooh you poor thing, what’s the problem, lead foot?â€

    At this point the SUV driver at the pump in front of me said, “This is an April Fool’s joke, right?â€

    We both looked at each other and said in harmony, “Nooooo†and chuckled.

    The SUV driver got mad, climbed into his beast, slammed the door and sped away in a rage!

    The attendant who was standing nearby laughed and jokingly said to us, “please don’t tick off our best customers.â€

    (True story!)

    I wonder if that was the Car Czar in that SUV?

    Don't complain, our brand stations are at $2.63 and Costco is $2.53. Gotta love the Prius!

    $1.019 a liter up here. So what's that about 3.96 liters per US gallon. Do the math, just a pinch under $4 a US gallon.

    The gas here went from 88 cents a litre to 94 cents a litre, so we're catching up to you.

    As far as conversion, if I recall there are 3.78 litres per U.S. gallon and 4.54 litres per Imperial gallon. I wonder what sort of sticker shock vacationing American tourists will see this summer?

    thanks for the update on the conversion. Sticker shock, last year at 89 a liter they were turning around and going back home. Add another 12 cents and they probably won't even think about coming up here. Mind you with the buck at 82 it's still advantages for a lot of things. Gas just isn't one of them anymore.

    Like exports? Yeah, I wonder if 'ole Ralphy Baby (Ralph Goodale, Minister of Finance) will keep claiming that our exports and economy are still red hot?
