Gas prices

[Caper11]

the gas price rose in town today to 114.9/litre for regular, this is rediclious most of us work in the patch and this is what we are faced with at the pumps, and it comes out of the ground here, and diesel is more than that, how are the truckers going to survive? In the end the consumer will get charged more because the trucking companies WILL raise the freight charges to offset the rise in fuel.

I don't know how many people on this site work "in the Patch". I know that I don't and I know a few other memebers that don't.

Do you think you should have lower gas/diesel prices than the rest of us because you work "in the patch"?

With 140 litre tank in the 06 F250 I don't think the 26' fifth wheel will be going far. Miquilon here I come!

Lets not forgot about the farmer's, I farm about 2000 acres, and i figured it out how much it well cost me to run the 4 wheel tractor pulling the seed-drill. it well be about $1500 day on a 10 hour day. There goes the vaction this summer.

 

[mudboy]

yup I am glad I do not have to go far to ride this summer

These prices have really effected our sledding costs as well. Two years ago we would haul to McBride in my Duramax for $250.00. Now its costing closer to $400.00 each trip.

As long as I can go round trip from the house on a tank of gas, I won't complain. Dad gets all his fuel paid for from work so whenever we go somewhere we take my truck and he pays the fuel. Only kicker is he has to get it at the gas station in town here. Makes it nice though for day trips. $100+ in fuel every time you fill the truck and 2 quads.

I pay all my own fuel costs so these increases hurt.

I actually smile everytime I fill up, no not cause I drive a car (dodge hemi), but because I know the province is getting richer and creates more jobs for me... Am I the only one?? If prices weren't this high, would there be as many jobs out there for all of us???

I would like to see more refineries built in AB...

I hear you...my commuting costs are killing me in the same truck...Time to get the motorcycle out soon.

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

I also have small SUV to drive. Got 30 mpg to McBride last trip (Rknight111 hauled my sled) and that's way better than my truck.
