Fuel Prices

Off Topic
  • I have just seen on another thread that the diesel price 'over the pond' is approx $4 a gallon. WOW!!!!

    Over here diesel is over ?5.30 a (US) gallon - that is currently $8.60!!! :eek:

    Prices here are crippling us and dog shows are far too expensive to get to now.

    Oh how I dream of cheaper fuel prices :rolleyes:

  • Our prices are ridiculous in the lower mainland of British Columbia because the government slaps on a 'carbon tax' that goes into general funds so they can waste more money. I drive across the border to Point Roberts, Washington state to get my gas. It is around a third cheaper and all the border guards love Kipawa.

  • My understand it that is will reach $5 shortly.
    Sigh.
    Makes rescue transport costly!

  • Seems the forum doesn't like the GBP sign. It comes up as a ?

    I would love to pay $4 a gallon. That's what we're more used to :)

    I was the one who mentioned that.

    I should have clarified that the almost $4 per gallon for diesel is in Arizona…and Arizona has cheaper fuel than some other states (but more expensive than others). Even within the same state, or within the same city, you can find wide variances in prices. Diesel is well over $4 in some places (like California, for instance), but where we are, we can get it for about $3.829 per US gallon. When we return to Spokane this spring, we'll be paying more...the cheapest diesel in the Spokane area appears to currently be $3.909, but at most stations, it's well over $4.00.

    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    @sanjibasenji Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).

    @Kembe, nice post! We've gone to solid food chopped up in a food processor, but we're grinding it a bit more course as we go. So far, no puppies are choking, but good to know!
