I just got a phone call from Northern Ontario that gas is at 1.76/litre so GO FILL UP NOW. We're all going to be bent over at the pumps with nozzles in our bums.

There's a show on Comedy Central called Mind of Mencia. It more or less replaced the Chapelle's Show by being a minority-driven racially charged stand-up/skit routine. Carlos Mencia, the self-titled host, did a bit in his last show about gas prices, prefaced by a bit of physical comedy revolving around the placement of gas nozzles in the general public's rear ends.

According to CNN, it's supposed to go up to $5 a gallon in the next couple weeks. . .

That's $1.88US per liter. One gallon is 3.79 L. Multiplying the two numbers, you get $7.13US per gallon.
Now crossing over to Detroit costs around $3 or $4US each way, plus potential border delays. However, at that price, it pays off to cross just for gas.

Soon they'll be charging us for farting.
I eat a lot of Mexican food too, I'm screwed.

Canadian Tire, of course. It's called the flo'n'go. When I first saw the commercial for it, the guy is filling his boat from a jerry can to prevent spillage, I'm thinking yea right that thing has a much better use.
