They have the price posted on the side of the cash register in Litres. Yesterday when i was there, it was 85 cents/L versus $1.179 here in Estevan Sask.

The sickening part is higher price is in the place where the fuel probably came from.

And the even more sickening part?

Most of our gas prices here on this side of the border are GOVERNMENT/PROVINCIAL sales taxes added on!!!

You want to see really cheap gas? Go to Brazil or Venezula-- their gas is only at like 20 cents a LITRE. You heard me right.. TWENTY cents a litre.. because the government SUBSIDIZES the gasoline there for everyone!!

Yep, same in the Middle East. Makes you wonder which governments really deserve the "oppressive" moniker.

In Edmonton at OK tire Toyo open country G02 winter tires with steal rims, and TPSM $2001.00 plus GST. We're getting hosed for sure.
