I'm surprised the peso hasn't passed us up yet.
I'm just here for the views. It helps me feel wanted.

I remember hearing in the news a while back it was the 1st time in recent history that canadians were coming across the border to get better pricing down here. It used to be we'd go up there because our dollar bought so much more...

Don't we all Philo! I remember being all excited when it went back to $0.99 for a bit. I'd put $20 in the thing, get a full tank of 92 (remember when we got REAL octane stuff???) and get enough change back to eat!!!!!

Tell me about it. That was right before I got my first car. 76 Ranchero with a 460. Within 2 weeks after I bought it it went to 450 a gallon.
