E-Squirrel Champion Author Orange County Posts:3,015 Points:820,970 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Apr 7, 2013 7:16:16 PM Ignore E-Squirrel Report Abuse Yes, I posted here back in 2008 that I would the next time I purchased a new vehicle. At the time, I was driving a vehicle with an EPA estimated highway rating of 34 mpg. In February, I bought a new, 2013 Mazda 3, with an estimated highway rating of 39 mpg. Present gasoline prices are actually a bit lower since I posted in 2008, but the increasing taxation across America means that the prices will be higher, even if oil prices drop.

rjr54 Champion Author Winnipeg Posts:1,110 Points:394,395 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Mar 28, 2013 10:37:11 PM Ignore rjr54 Report Abuse With Canadian prices currently down to $1.28, prices are finally under $5.00 / gallon. (Although many Canadian prices are still above $5.00.)
rjr54 Champion Author Winnipeg Posts:1,110 Points:394,395 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Mar 28, 2013 10:33:32 PM Ignore rjr54 Report Abuse Of course $1.50 / litre is $5.68 / gallon. And $4.00 / gallon is $1.06 / litre. So the question is kind of inconsistent.

rjr54 Champion Author Winnipeg Posts:1,110 Points:394,395 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Feb 18, 2013 10:11:33 AM Ignore rjr54 Report Abuse P.S. the price of gas is over $4.00 a gallon. Heck it is over $5.00 a gallon here. $1.50 per litre is $5.68 per gallon. So the question is different for litres and gallons.

rjr54 Champion Author Winnipeg Posts:1,110 Points:394,395 Joined:Feb 2005	Message Posted: Feb 16, 2013 8:42:42 PM Ignore rjr54 Report Abuse It looks like there is a typo in this question - $4/gallon is $1.05/litre. Since our dollars are close to par, one can compare without an exchange rate. The Canadian price was over $1.05 in the summer of 2006. So asking in 2007 is sort of a moot point. At $1.25 today ($5/gallon) $1.05 would be a huge bargain. Those were the days . . .
