OK, so you got laid off due to Obamanomics so you figure you'll get in

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.

Our Gas stations measure by the IMPERIAL gallon.....doh !!! But you
knew that, right?
