That's right no more camping for me until the fuel prices go down. There is no way I am going to spend that type of money just to relax...no sir, not me. I think I will trade that 5th wheel in for a sleeping bag and just camp in the back yard. That will show them speculators and oil companies a thing or two!!!;) Happy Camping i know how can you relax when you've just been fleeced by people who are already so rich their families are taken care of for generations to come. i hope they are all happy and the day that oil is useless i only hope to see their sad faces on the news327Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!
Gadget Guy wrote: To Trac209, I am also Canadian, please get your facts close to being write. Federal and Provincial fuel taxes goes into that big pot called General Revenue. Our feds spend less than 10% of what is collected in fuel taxes on our road system, the rest goes to pay for our so called "free" health care and all the rest of the government expenditures. Our so called "free" health care is the main reason that everything costs more in Canada than the US. Our health care is very expensive and very inefficient, I would not wish it on anyone, but this topic is supposed to be about fuel prices, so I apologize for getting off topic. first off why did you spell "right "like write? what the money from gas taxes is "supposed to go to is roads!!!! just cuz it doesn't always work that way it don't mean our health care is free and thats what i was explaining ok? our health care is anything but free i'm sure you can at least agree with that327Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!

At $6.00 a gallon, you've got the bargain of a lifetime for free healthcare. Some people think everything is free.:D what on earth are you talking about? our government is supposed to use the money from gas taxes for the roads not heath care. do you live in canada ? heath care comes from income tax not fuel. we have have had free heath care long before gas was 6.00 a gallon so where did the money come from then. please get your facts right please. in the same token i could cry and say pretty much everything we buy up in canada is more expensive for canadians then in the U.S . btw i'm not some people i'm canadian213Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!

Rather than being ridiculed, they should be commended for at least making some small effort to offer resistance rather than just lying there and taking it! If we had a few million more like them, diesel would be $2/gal. Maybe the guys that should be ridiculed are the ones who gleefully pay exhorbitant prices and then make fun of those who try to resist - now that's just nuts :-):-0 Love and Prayers, Jack exactly my thoughts143Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!

And crude's rise in the futures market again pressured consumers by pulling prices at the pump higher — a gallon of regular gas rose overnight to a new record above $3.80 a gallon. In its weekly inventory report, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said crude oil inventories fell by more than 5 million barrels. Analysts had expected a modest increase. Gasoline inventories also fell and took the market by surprise. Light, sweet crude for July delivery was up more about $3, rising as high as $132.08 a barrel in late morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. At the pump, the average national price of a gallon of regular gas rose 0.7 cent overnight to a record $3.807 a gallon, according to a survey of stations by AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Prices are 60 cents higher than a year ago, and many forecasters believe they'll hit $4 on a national basis at some point over the next month. Prices are already that high in many parts of the country, and the number of stations charging $4 or more rises each day. Diesel fuel rose 1.9 cents to its own record price of $4.558 a gallon Wednesday. Rising prices of diesel, used to transport most consumer and industrial goods, are sending prices of food and many other goods higher. try paying the almost 6 bucks we pay in canada for a country that sells you oil for cheaper the we sell it to ourselves.286Views0likes0Comments
