    A year from now, after we’ve been paying $5 a gallon for gas, we’ll find out the oil companies had the biggest record profit year in their history. Then they’ll announce layoffs.

      Fyi Canadians pay well over 5$ a gallon. I’m sure others pay significantly more as well.

      Just explaining so you know that many people won’t understand your comment

        Don’t forget to convert the currency. $5 USD /gal is about $1.50 CAD /L, which is bang for Western Canada and cheaper than gas prices right now in Eastern Canada.

        You’re right though, those aren’t the insane prices the original poster thinks they are for countries outside the US.

          It’s about 650 per gallon Canadian. I meant it’s already above 5 usd per gallon
