While we can moan about fuel prices, there are many many countries with much much higher fuel prices.

ok but that dorsn’t mean we have to emulate them.

Average gas price in Alberta is $6.20/gal, hadn't seen it slow camping down this summer.

You may have used an incorrect multiplier there.

Gas is about 1.26 per litre in Canadian dollars right now.

That is about 3.85 per American dollars in American gallons.

Gas is virtually free in Venezuela if you care to move.
Iran, Iraq, Ethiopia, Nigeria.... take your pick for cheap fuel.

Fuel is over $5.50/gallon in Europe. Nothing has changed there. We should consider our selves lucky.

A $1/gallon increase in fuel prices adds $125/1,000 miles at 8 MPG. Is that enough to stop you from RV'ing? Not me...

It didn't stop us the last time gas was $4 or more per gallon and it wouldn't stop us now, but, health has. That is much worse than a few bucks more for gas!!!

Already that price in CA. No effect.
