I am about to rant on gas prices ... but I should really be RANTING about the WASTEFUL use of our tax $s again.
The F35 fiasco is rearing its ugly head again. But, relax, it is only an additional $10B waste of our tax $s.

Why is it we Canadians don't mind the feds partying with our tax $s ?
I guess we must enjoy paying taxes!
Well, gas prices may be $1.40/litre tomorrow and you need to take measures to encourage lower prices and to ensure you are getting a good price when you do fill up.
As you know, I have complained about gas prices in the past.
We do pay a LOT OF TAX on our gas.
We just returned home from Myrtle Beach and we paid approx $.98/litre for our gas.
BTW, we averaged 16k/l in our Civic (approx 47MPG - for the oldies - thanks to an Android app for my Samsung smartphone called fuelio).
What really surprised me was the price for 'regular' vs 'premium' gas.
Did you know we pay approx $.15/litre more for premium ... and the Americans pays approx $.15/Gal more for premium.
Canadians pay a lot more for premium gas than Americans.
Why the dramatic increase for premium here in Canada?

I guess we have to pay for the F35s somehow!
What really astounds me is how PASSIVE we Canadians are about inequities!!!
I am about to tweet Harper again and really encourage everyone to tweet him and send emails to their MP.
I also will email the auditor general on the excellent unbiased report.

Planning for the driving future:
1. drive less
2. elect a more responsible government
3. complain to your MP
4. really think about a very efficient vehicle for your next purchase
5. get rid of those pick-up trucks and vans you are driving now - if you want to save money
6. don't but a vehicles that requires premium fuel

It really is time to start serious complaining about our wasted tax $s !!!
Although I like to rant, the one positive of increased gas prices is the growing inevitability of hydrogen fuel as the right answer.
