In reply to Leigh. Nova Scotia is probably higher than Vancouver. I really have to get my head out of the sand and check prices before I rent a car (even though I am going to rent one regardless of the price!)

In reply to Kerry-Ann. That's still high, but nice to hear that it's dropping.

Vancouver tends to have high gas prices because of a carbon tax. They also go up during the day and down after about 9pm – a cent or two a liter. Last night they were $1.36/L.
Can’t get over some of those European prices.

I can’t believe how expensive petrol is in the USA. Shocked to read the price – used to be so cheap. Petrol here has dropped in price for the third time in two weeks. First lot of reductions since September last year. Price as of today: US $1.72 per litre.

In reply to Remco. That's outrageous! I'm really looking forward to driving in this summer, but not the fill-up at the pump. It won't be $150.00, but it will be high.

Visited Brunei a couple of months ago – gas was ~$0.35 per litre!

We are getting very close to US$ 10/gallon here in the Netherlands (€ 1,76 or US$ 2.46/liter). Second most expensive in the world now, only after Turkey. A full tank in my car costs me just under US$ 150.

Same message here: Public transport is usually less expensive than driving, although I wouldn’t call it cheap. Transport is expensive!

In reply to Dave and Deb. That's fantastic! I hope prices are similar in Nova Scotia.

Wow, looking at the other comments, we’ve got it good. In the Toronto area of Canada right now, it is $1.27 per liter
