Sure hits the pocketbook hard lately
Put a $100 in a truck & never filled it :(
Got some trucker buddies that put $500+ a day in
Not looking forward to seeing the fuel truck pull in to fill my barrels
I usually get a 1000 gallon a time for tractors
The price for chemicals & fertilizer have tripled :cry:

Might have to buy a horse to pull the Slick around :mrgreen:

Pat: You're not alone, it's been escalating here as well, looking on gasbuddy.com, the cheapest in the top ten lowest prices locally is $1.29.9/liter, conversion is 3.785412 liters/US Gallon, so that makes it $4.92/US Gal.
The highest price in the top ten lowest prices is $1.40.9/L, and from I've seen on the news, Eastern Canada and the West Coast are way higher than here in Edmonton........

The propane guy topped of the tank yesterday
$2.70 a gallon for propane
Glad we use wood stove to help
Probably cuts our bill by more than half
I read an “expert” saying gasoline could be $7 at end of year
That would almost break some business’s

My house isn’t huge but nice. For 3 months in a row my propane bill was just over $700
And we don’t over heat it either.

I’m just fortunate I could pay it

$700 for 3 months… or $700 per month ?

Put $60.00 CDN in yesterday, @ $1.49.9/liter, had a 1/4 tank, adding $60.00 worth brought me up to about a needle width over the 3/4 mark:(

So, $1.49.9/L is $5.67($CDN)/US Gallon

And my Dec utilities records (electric & gas) were both new record highs...... but we did have a couple weeks of temps in the minus thirties (or into the minus forties with the wind chill factor)......my latest Natural gas bill was 57% less than the one for the cold spell....


*just for giggles, I checked gasbuddy.com for Vancouver, BC, and the highest that made it onto the top ten cheapest price list was $2.00.9/l

Two weeks ago a friend hauling on his Big Rig (18 wheeler) stopped to fill his tanks.
His bill was $982.00

OUCH…….that’s why prices are going up on everything.

In Lowes last week to get lumber, a 16’ 2x12 is $81.65 and you can’t do much of anything with just 1 board……

Very uncertain where or when all of this will stop!

I filled my truck this morning at Wally World for $3.83.9. That was the cheapest around here, mostly around $4.09.9. I can't imagine pulling up to a gas pump and seeing $9.00.9 a gallon. There's people that couldn't afford to go to work at that price.
