Yeah, I saw this thread and I thought it was pretty funny.
Gas is about $0.65 a Litre here... which if I had somewhere to drive my car, would cost $22.75 ish to fill up from empty.

^ That's the big irony in all this: cheap gas, but nowhere to go. Supply, meet demand.
I hear cruise ship packages are going for cheap, too.
Once the world starts to revert to normal transportation, prices will go back up. (Not so sure about cruise ship holidays!)

Gas buddy is showing prices in Edmonton between .80-$1.22. Doesn't sound right to me, I'll have to go on a drive to check that out.
Edit: I'm an idiot, that was diesel prices not gasoline.... Looks like most places are under around 59 cent/liter around here

National retail average in the USA today: $1.92 per gallon
Where I am in Oregon, the average is: $2.64.
I still think that cheap gas = gas guzzlers. People will buy trucks, SUVs, big cars, etc. where fuel economy isn't a concern. Unlike back in 2009 when fuel was nearly $4.00/gal and the economy was in the toilet, now gas is inexpensive. I don't think we'll see a boom in small cars, unfortunately.
I imagine people who recently had their income drop might be considering something cheaper in the not too distant future. I don't care about gas prices being so cheap I'm not saving a ton of money compared to someone filling up a v10 excursion soccer mom-mobile. I did fill up all my jerry cans thinking prices can't stay this low for long but prices kept dropping lol.

If/when gas ever jumps back up to $4-5/gallon, companies like Ford/Chevy (dropping the cars in their line up) will look stupid. Those companies seem to lack vision (good leadership). It's all about making a buck today!
If gas goes above $4 again, people will be pulling their old dusty mopeds/motorcycles out the garages again. That happened somewhat last time.
in Minnesota, its averaging $1.99/gallon. But some places (8-10 min) outside of the cities is dipping down to $1.20 to $1.40. Gas stations near me are $1.59/gallon for 87 oct. (sighs). Unfortunately, I haven't pumped gas in my car for 2 weeks But I have been driving it every other day. Pretty crazy.
