As much as I love going fast in fast cars, the recent ridiculous rises in gas price has made public transit much more appealing, and even the prospect of owning a cheap little Echo Hatchback a financial impossibility.
According to a fairly reliable source the highest reported gas price in Greater Vancouver today is over a dollar per litre. Yes, over a dollar per litre for regular unleaded 87-octane gasoline, which places the price of premium gasoline, which high-compression and high-horse-power engines typically need, almost at $1.50 per litre. It's a doubling in price compared to even just a few months ago.
*sigh*
