    Sorry I should have been more clear. I was averaging around 2 billion mpg.

    Shell is now offering 93 octane in Alberta. I know the station at Beacon Hill has it.
    Saw it at the Crowfoot Shell the other day too. Just FYI, the 93 contains ethanol for those that care.

    I’ve got a 7 seat Peugeot 5008 GT with a 1.5L Turbodiesel and a 6 speed here in the UK and I averaged 65.6MPG UK over a 335 mile journey today. Not bad for spending a lot of time close to 80mph. Should be good for 800+miles per tank (60L tank I think).
    The french don't do anything well, except small efficient diesels

    I had a Nissan Juke with that same engine for a rental a while back, 56mpg (uk) in town

    About time.

    This line says a lot:

    On Friday, the average price of regular gasoline in Toronto was around $1.689 per litre, according to GasBuddy
    Toronto’s rack price is 7c higher than ours, and we have 6c less provincial tax.

    So we should be at 1.55/L to match TO at an average profit at the stations. We’re paying so much, why?

    Think Edmonton is a bit cheaper, just filled up yesterday with 94 and it was just under $2/litre...I don't pay enough attention to lookout the exact number but $1.9xx something.

    Always is slightly cheaper (used to be about 5¢ less) in Edmonton, but don't tell Calgary. They won't be able to figure out why Edmonton needs fuel on account a them all living in igloos around some mall and whatnot.
    It's like still -7°C in Edmonton, right?

    It’s ok. Edmonton can have something as a consolation prize.

    Sounds like many here want that nationalized fuel price schemes... What kind of communist bullshit is this?? Supply and demand reigns supreme. The market sets what people are willing to pay and here in the 'Berta, we all rolling in that O&G chedda donchaknow!

    Anyone who thinks fuel retail profit is too high is welcome to start a business undercutting them. It's free money!

    You might be on to something here…maybe the feds end up buying Petro-Canada business from Suncor if it goes up for sale after the strategic review
