Yeah, must be an old pic. LOL

I see 2 dead bodies from drinking that swill.

Fraser Valley BC $1.67 Lit. = $7 Gal.

Fraser Valley BC $1.67 Lit. = $7 Gal.

actually $7.57 :stop:
it's ridiculous

[auggie]

That's why I cross over to Sumas Washington USA where it's $3.45 Gal even with exchange etc.
Works out to under $6 Gal

1.88 a litre for premium gas I paid today. Not sure what that is in gallons.
I wonder if I can train my old beemer to accept lower grade fuel . Worried I will do damage to the engine..
These oil companies are raking in record profits every year.
At least in some provinces in Canada there is this so called rebate about a carbon tax refund for fossil fuels sent to tax payers, incentive is to reduce the greenhouse emissions by companies and individuals and drive to a more healthy environment like electric vehicles .
Send u a few bucks every quarter, take away all that plus more with increases in the fossil fuel payout per ton.
Nice trade off for the government

I've never bought premium
even when I had my chevy 350/425hp with a holley 750 double pumper
never saw a fouled plug

Didn't they show (documentary) that Regular Gas is all you need, that Premium is wasting your Hard earned $$$

[leafs99]

Those chevys are built way better than these garbage beemers.
I have a laundry list of repairs I did on this vehicle.
Transfer case motor, struts, water pump with thermostat, rear prop drive assembly, front struts, valve cover gasket, 2 calipers, resonator, now started tripping 4 oxygen sensors and blowing a fuse, that just started and only 120k
Driven on the vehicle.

I don’t think with these lemon ass vehicles I can switch to regular
From premium without damaging something else.
It I do try, maybe mix it for a few weeks. These gas prices killing us these days.
Never again a beemer.

I was taught it burns hotter which fouls up plugs and jets

[Emporium]

In terms of costs comparing $/L vs $/Gallon, don't forget to take into consideration the size difference between a US and Imperial Gallon. US gallon is 3.79 L while the Imperial Gallon is 4.55L. So there is an addition 20% to consider, above and beyond just the exchange rate.

Don't get me wrong, there is still a difference, but not as much as it used to be a few years back. At USD$3.45/Gal, assuming a 35% exchange rate on our monopoly money, it still comes out to about CDN$1.23/L in the US. Still cheaper than the $1.60 that it is presently selling in the Montreal area for regular.

Well, for a daily driver, I would agree. I have done many tests using premium, and regular, and mod grades using my Honda cars, and no matter what I use, at the end, I get the exact same mileage (within error and driving style factors) with $40 of whatever grade. Sure you get less volume with Premium, since it costs more per L, but the energy difference comes out that it makes no difference to the mileage.

Sure it runs hotter with Premium. But some people say that the extra heat fouls things up, and others say the extra heat actually helps by burning off carbon deposits. And it definitely runs hotter, since I recall once I put Shell Vpower (I think 93 octane) in my snow blower, since it was the only fuel at the time with no ethanol (that is no longer the case). And after an hour outside cleaning the snow, my little muffler on the Toro was just starting to glow RED :)

And it all depends on the car. On my honda cars, I did not see a huge difference in power. On the base Civic there was no difference. On my Accord, there was a little bit of a difference, but not too much. I think the onboard computers just regulate timings to take everything into consideration.

Now, when I did the same test with my 72 Riviera, with a 455cu in (7.45L), quadrajet, and TH400 transmission, there was a HUGE difference. With regular gas, it drives well and it's fine, and can easily spin out still. But with Premium you feel that little extra power, and when the transmission switches from 1st to 2nd, you even hear the chirp of the tires when hard accelerating. This was even more apparent before the addition of this crappy ethanol dilution junk. So the extra power can be felt. So I still stick with premium on this one.

i think if you are looking at gas mileage you have to drive at a steady pace many miles on cruse control hardly any hills, using top grade gas, Costco puts in a additive, Maverick gas is also good, resent trip i got on my subaru 40.2gpm other wise it was about 36-38 mpg, in town 24, and the reason i used premium is that gasahall corn feed junk was poor mileage and poor power and the only option was premium without gasahall,

Unfortunately, the only grade without that ethanol crap (at least in montreal area) used to be the Shell V-Power premium (93 or 94 whatever it is). However as of last year, even those pumps now have the notice that they may contain up to 5% per volume. And they even removed the notice on their web site which stated that they did not add it to their VPower 93/94. So short of going to the Marina to fill up, I am not sure where else you can fill up without that crap. I would prefer to not have it, since it does dry up the carb seals on my old Buick and even on my snow blower.

Remember going to the gas station and asking for a dollars worth?

It might be cheaper today

30203

no it isn't and you just posted the proof

[TLG]

Your right .. but it's not that far ... cheap in Nashville
The earliest I remember (when I paid attention) was .50 cents CAN/gallon

30204

[TLG]

1 US gallon is 3.8 liters
$3.00 / 3.8 = .79 cents
conv to CAN ,, 1x.35% = 1.06

Add Carbon Tax 17.6 / liter
Add HST ..............2.29
Total CT .............19.89 / liter

1.06 + 19.89 .. 125.9

They are taxing the tax :(
The Carbon tax is not our friend

[dishuser]

yet china now produces almost 400% more carbon emissions than years past and don't pay a dime
canada ranks in the top 10 of lowest producer

[leafs99]

The more I read this thread, the more I realize we’re all being gouged from the Canadian government with these gas taxes.
Now who even started this so called pay for carbon footprint tax scam.

not sure what you did but the HST is wrong in your calculation it should be 0.16 so your total should be

1.06
+ 0.176 (Carbon Tax)
--------
1.236 (subtotal)
+0.16 (13% HST)
--------
1.396

Either-Way as Canadians We are getting RIPPED-OFF (Taxes/Prices etc.) On Just About Everything we Purchase/Buy.

[dishuser]

saw this last week

Less than 20 days. That's how long it takes China to emit the same amount as Canada in a whole year. If Canada eliminated all of its emissions, China would replace them in less than three weeks. Why are we being asked to sacrifice more than the world’s largest emitters? Sources: Environment and Climate Change Canada.

[auggie]

That's why we will never solve Climate Change, other Countries etc. are doing absolutely Nothing about the problem

So whats the point Then ?

[lemme]

Green globalist strategy. Drive up fuel prices so bad people will have to buy a battery car. Mix ethanol with gas so it damages older engines and they have also removed the sulfur from diesel fuel. Sulfur acts as a lubricant for things like injection pumps and injectors. I use stanadyne additive in my cummins trucks.
It's all part of the plan. Canada sees this while we south of you have cheap gas atm due to an election. If the green loonies win gas prices will soar right after the election.
These people have openly declared war on fossil fuels.
Meanwhile most everything we use today comes from oil or a byproduct thereof.

[hotplay]

All for power and money. Climate change tax money goes to liberals and friends. If something was to happen to them, the nation would celebrate.
