Vancouver gas prices...highest ever in North America?!?

I have seen video of these a$$holes stealing cats in broad daylight. They roll up in a crappy old van and jump out with two fast-pump floor jacks and Sawzalls. They are done and gone in about 3 minutes. SUVs may be easier to hit and have larger/multiple cats, but these dirtbags come prepared. No vehicle is actually safe.

My brother's 01' Honda Accord's cat was stolen in broad daylight at his work. It's SUPER wild how insanely fast they can cut it off and run away. Literally under 3 minutes too, which is wild but not surprising since the dumbA$$ theives just use an electric sawszall. I know the catalytic converters are being stolen off the 2011-2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sports. My brother, works at auto/body shop, tells me there are at least 2 or 3 a week that come in. It's crazy. I don't think there's much automakers can do to solve that issue.... unless that cat is similar to the mirage's (where it's right after the header, near the firewall). Totally agree with you though, no vehicle is safe. If the thieves want it that badly, they will do what they can.


I just saw that some places in Canada, it's basically equivalent to $6.30/gallon here in the states. How much is that good ol' 93 octane up there for you folks? It's $4.899/gallon for 92 octane at the gas station near my work.

It'll probably get worse before it gets better. At least my natural gas bill didn't hurt as bad this last month.

If a thief crew can pull a cat off an Escalade in 3 minutes, say what you will about them being scumbags, that's still impressive. I'd reckon for every professional car thief out there, there's 10 joyriding idiots or worse, car jackers. There was a car theft crew in Atlanta, that for years, that got away with stealing hundreds of cars. Their M.O. was no violence and to steal them off parked streets in the rich side of town, no garages, no witnesses. IIRC they mostly targeted Hondas. The APD finally caught up with them after a decade, and discovered these guys were all extremely talented in mechanics, had a sophisticated chop shop, hell, some of them even rented themselves out as wheel men supposedly. This was what I heard when I lived in the city, supposedly a downtown bar I used to frequent, was a regular hang out for these dudes. This was 20 years ago, so who knows?

I post this not as a complaint because I realize I'm still exposed to some of the lowest fuel costs in the world, but I just paid $4 a gallon ($3.999 per). 7.4 gallons to fill. That's up about $0.60 in roughly a week. It's spiking. I got all my vehicles filled in the last few days. All but the Blueberry will be 'stored' as much as possible. Except The Warden's vehicle. Gas is still $0.000 per gallon in her world.

It's about time to start hording toilet paper again.

I thought he was holding up a sign for how much my wife thinks gas is per gallon...

Well, it went up here again too…10cents a liter since Saturday. It’s $1.659/Liter now.

$100 to fill the wife’s turd pail Kia. Good news though, the drama teacher is jacking up carbon tax next month.

premium gas at station closest to me is 6.35 USD/US gallon

That's too much. Tell them you'll give them $2.50 for a gallon and they can take it or leave it.
