3.99 is cheap. It’s $4.20 where I’m at which is still cheap compared to much of the country
Look at this guy not from California!
6.89 the other day
Its about 6.50 to 7.20 near me depending on the station
$3.99 USD per gallon is about $1.43 CAD per litre. I weep, lol. I'm paying $1.96 CAD per litre (about $5.41 USD per gallon). I'm in Alberta, we grow it here. That's relatively cheap compared to some other provinces 😭
Edit: Don't take those numbers as gospel. I'm scrolling on the can, so it may not be my best math.
I got the same number, your math checks out I think.
My local gas station was 187.9 last I checked. Not quite as bad as yours but still brutal.
4.99ish where I am, for the last week or so.
I wouldn't call it lucking out but a couple weeks ago I was hitting the store midday and saw 1 station had jumped to $4.29. a couple blocks later I saw 2 stations still had it at 3.89 so I immediately filled up. Within a couple days it had already jumped to somewhere around 4.50 and days later it's at 4.99.
Jumped from $4.75 on the way to work to $4.99 on the way home. Were fucked.
