These things I noticed yesterday:

• I bought at 1.03 a litre yesterday. I drove to Ottawa and back wich is 350 km on the highway and say another 25 in the city. I put 25 bucks on a dryish tank first thing and put another 20 in it with 50 km to go coming back. So lets say my 25 bucks or 24.25 litres got me the 350 km. That is only 18.5 km to the buck. Or 218 miles to 5.87 imperial gallons or 37 odd miles to the gallon. My math is probably completely wrong but it comforts me in these troubled times.
• The self-serve on the highway was under a puck - but just - at 99.8 sents and people would line up for ten minutes for that 3.5 cent savings rather than pay for my 20 bucks about 60 cents more to sail through and have a window wash and a thank you very much and no gassy hands. Am I a gas station sook?
• The difference between gas at an unnoticable level of, say, 80 cents a litre and $1.03 on our weekly average weekly buying is $5.75. This represents 84% of a pork bifanas lunch special at Greek Village. I suspect I will still buy both as often.
