Vette(s): 1975 Corvette 383 stroker w/Patriot 190 heads, Eagle stroker kit, Comp 279TH7 cam, DUI distributor, Edelbrock 7116 intake, Edelbrock 1806 carb, Hedman Hedders, TH400 w/TCI Breakaway 2400 stall, Transgo 1-2 shift kit.
Just filled up here in Ontario, Canada. Better sit down boys...$1.539 a litre for premium. That works out to $5.83 a US gallon in Canadian dollars and I see the US dollar is worth 97.6 cents Canadian today. So 5.83/.976 = $5.97 US$ per US gallon. You guys have got it made down there. Cry

On the way home this afternoon two stations at the same intersection were up a dime since yesterday to $3.97 and $3.99 for regular.  And they both jumped 12 pennies a week ago as well.

Truly an ingenious invention, but not practical...NO cup holder!  My gandfather used to buy and restore those old one lung engines....so this brought back some fond memories!
Thanks for posting that one!

Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary L82 4spd (M21) Red Leather. Pace Car is in the hands of a new caretaker.
4.10 up this way. The cheapest gas I saw in recent memory was returning from Florida and filling up in New Jersey after we stopped at DaveM's house. $1.40 gal about 4 years ago. I'm tired of getting soaked.
