We all complain about the price of gas around here as well. The price at the pumps now is $1.389/litre. I am sure it will jump before the long weekend as well. However I would have to agree with Brandon. If you see all the big fancy trucks on the road driving at the speeds that they do then you would think gas is free. I have been diving on the hwy at speed limits (100km/h) and have been passed by many vehicles like I am stopped. The distance from where I live to St john`s is approx 100kms. By reducing my speed from 110km/h to approx 95km/h I can save about $4.00 per round trip. Even more in my big fancy truck...lol This reduction in speed will mean it will take about an extra 10 minutes to get where I am going.
Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.
