Default Buffalo gas

picked up some Sunoco 93 in Buffalo Sunday, after converting to Liters and using 12pts, which it isn't, was still .30 a liter cheaper, unreal how they can jam people here.

Check the difference in price between regular and 93 in the US. The difference here is about double after you convert it!

I think our usage of OHIP and other health plans in Canada should make you glad we pay more and don't have to sell our houses to get cured in the USA.

i don t mind, too much, paying more taxes here, we are not at war with anyone, having citizens killed by war and terrorists, spending billions to see who is on mars, a good health system, and the list goes on. Still the best country in the world to live.
