OK, so you got laid off due to Obamanomics so you figure you'll get in
some fishing, take the boat out and enjoy some of that time off. You
go to fill her up and WTF, gas is $5.00/gallon, another causualty of
Obamanomics. While filling up you notice that your gas now has 15%
ethanol made from corn under Obamanomics, crap, no wonder breakfast
cereal is nearly $5.00/box. When you calculate your vehicles mpg, you
notice it has dropped, time for a tuneup? No, another casualty of
Obamanomics, ethanol reduces fuel efficiency.
So, how's that Hope and Change going?


I just thought I'd let you know....

$1.36 per litre X 4.55 litres in ONE Imperial Gallon = $6.18 per
gallon.

Thats what we're paying NOW, up here.


D'mericans use the US gallon, 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 litres.

Thus with US gallon in mind, $5.18 CAD per gallon, or about $5.42 US per
US gallon.

Yep, a US buck isn't what it used to be. Too much ponzi counterfeiting
going on in DC.
