I don't know if anyone has driven through Canada lately, but the gas prices are not in dollars per gallon, and it's probably better that you don't know how much it costs. I filled my gas tank up before I left Detroit. My fuel started getting low somewhere around Toronto so I stopped for gas at a rest area. The prices there were listed as Canadian currency per liter which means nothing to me; I was already having problems figuring out how fast I was going. I think the speed limit was 110 kmh? Anyway, I stopped for gas; the gas pump stopped at $100 and I was on my way. I looked at my gas gage as I pulled away and it was just over a 1/2 tank. I later found out that gas is $6 a gallon there. I looked at my gps and my gas gage and estimated that I should be able to get within 20 miles of the US border on the gas I had. I was willing to chance it. I got to the US border with the low fuel light on. Luckily there was an Indian Reservation just over the border that had untaxed gas, so I filled up my truck and my boat there. The guy at the gas station said he had never seen so much gas pumped at one time. He walked back over to the truck with my credit receipt and promptly apologized for what he was about to give me. The gas cost $280. The price of gas is having an impact on every fisherman. I don't know how long I can afford to pay with the gas prices the way they are. Between the Detroit and Champlain tournaments I will have spent about $1400 in gas alone. I need to win some money!
