Living in a capitalist country and been againts profitability is a conflict as a citizen. Capitalism, democracy and freedom is what we do here. They are also the ideals we export to the rest of the world in our self imposed possition of leadership. As to the goverment stealing too much money, taxation = stealing ? Nobody likes to pay taxes but we all use public roads, or hospitals, or schools, etc. I'm no fan of govermental waste and would love to see our tax money spent more efficiently. Not going into a political conversation on a fuel prices thread. Our demand went down in the 3% range last time I checked. Speculators doing their job, higher demand from developing countries and opec's refusal to increase supply will drive the oil barrel price up, we pay more for gas at the pump.

We need to become oil independent, if brazil can do it why can't we. And e85 isn't the answer!

It's $1.09/litre here. So what, about $4.40 a gallon? Back in my home city it's $1.21L / $4.85gallon.
Ugh.
I used to get 300km's per tank (60litre I believe) but now I'm getting 400...don't ask me how.

After reading that little political blurb, I realize I'm quite satisfied being a Canadian and paying HIGHER taxes than Americans.
At least they come back to us, or to those that need it.
