I live smack in the middle of oil country, Calgary, Alberta, Canada and we pay $1.36 CAD per litre @ 3.78 litres per gallon equals $5.14 CAD per gallon. Our dollar is just about par with yours these days so $5.06 USD per gallon. Whatever. It's a personal choice to drive, especially in Calgary. Mass transit is available, the bike paths are quite good, and there's the European choice, walking. I like the convenience of a car, so I pay the cost of gas, without griping. I believe in a capitalist society and that the consumer has a choice. If you don't like the cost of gas, don't drive a car that runs on gas.
