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

My apartment has its own parking spot. But back in 1986 (when it was built), they assumed that many residents would work and live in the city and wouldn't buy or need an expensive car. Therefore there are fewer parking spots than apartments.

That makes it very hard for us, as we cannot assign fixed parking spots to our residents.

Finding parking space becomes a serious problem in many cities in our country.

We take those things for granted here.

Some African children performed at my church a few years ago. One thing that amazed them the most about America was the fact that we built houses for our cars.

What I find amazing - I have a nice two car garage, & I can't fit my two vehicles in it. I have to many other things that take up the space!

Spoiled Americans!!!

Hear hear Mark! I couldn't agree more, we are spoiled.

Unbelievable. Canada is so huge, you'd think real estate would be more reasonable. It's not like Vancouver is an island like Manhattan, it can spread out its metropolitan area.

Real estate is still cheap if you don't want to live in a city. Friend of mine bought a fixer upper house in a rural Nova Scotia village for $12,000 a couple of years ago! Even last summer I was talking to a guy who bought rural land 20 minutes from the NS Atlantic coast for $15k last year. He's planning to build a cabin/shop on the land and keep a cruising sailboat on the coast.

Vancouver is hemmed in by mountains to the north, the US to the south, Pacific ocean to the west. Only direction to sprawl is east, .... and that's already happened.

I could fit my house inside my garage (sq. footage).

(OK, my house is pretty small.)

I like Fummin's province, Alberta. It seems like it has the most reasonable cost of living and the natural scenery and wildlife is out of this world!

Headline Dutch newspaper, translated by Google:

The price of petrol in the Netherlands continues to rise. According to consumer collective UnitedConsumers, the suggested retail price for a liter of E10 (Euro95) is now a record 2,158 euros.

And no provincial sales tax…
Diesel is at $1.50/L… so about $180 to fill up my protest-mobile.

Mirages must be like gold up there right now?!?

Canadian California(Vancouver) gas prices are close to $1.80/L now....that's $5.26/Gallon According to this https://usgas.ca/us
In my town it's $1.43/L($4.23/gallon usd).

In my town it's $1.43/L($4.23/gallon usd).

Its 1.589/L CAD or $4.72/gallon USD for the cheap stuff in toronto right now.

Premium is 1.919/L CAD or $5.70/Gallon USD.

On the bright side i can get around faster since less people can afford to be on the road,
on the downside fuel economy goes down at high speeds stupid wind resistance, why couldn't they shape the mirage like this ****box https://aptera.us

Are you seriously noticing less traffic??

I'd drive an Aptera. There was one driving around in the background of one of the Star Trek movies.

If that had a Mirage drivetrain, it'd probably get around 85 MPG = 2.8 L/100 km on the highway.
