Default Re: oil price.

In town the other day it was $1.05 per litre, thats about 3.50 per US gal.
I will get a better idea this morning.we are out to the butchers and will fill the 33 up then.
Our Gov takes about 60% of the cost in taxes of one sort or another.
I think by comparison its still cheaper than when I was an apprentice at GM.wages were 33 cents /hr, fuel was 33 cents IMP gal, so it took one hr work for a gal of fuel.
Kid across the street started a heavy equipment fitter apprenticeship at $16 per hr.
so way better off.
