just wondering over here, what do you guys pay for gas ?

in Belgium more than 1 euro/liter, so more than 6 $ a gallon ? ( 4.55 l ? )

Geeeeezzzzzzz...........at 6 bucks a gallon ($100/fill-up), I wouldn't be driving the Vette much!!

$2.70/gal out here in "sun-country" is bad enough!

thanx so far guys. You are lucky with your gas prices , we pay more than the dubble...

Of course our distances are far more less , going to the pub for a beer ( sorry Ken, a diet coke  ) is at max a couple of miles.....and returning sometimes a few miles more....  according my woman ....

No wonder , my vette has 5.000 miles......

Here in the Great White North we are paying 84.9/Litre for Reg and 95.9/Litre for Premium so we are in the same boat Norbert. But it is a couple of miles just to the gas station and then about 10 Min for the "Diet Coke".

80stroker ,

yes ! , about the same but Belgium still leading : 1.2 euro/liter x 1.2 = 1.44 $/liter.....

if there's so much difference US - Canada .... i think there's a lot of border passing for fuelling ??? not ?

10 min for the diet coke , do you mean : 40 times the 1/4 mile or cruise control ? ...

Norbert, there is some border crossing for fuel in the border towns but us poor folk to far north of the border just have to grin and bear it. And for the diet coke that would be 20 times 1/4 mile and then cruise control to slow the heart down.
