In Vancouver right now Gas prices are at around $1.12 a liter.
That works out to about $5.04 a gallon.

Here is a site where you can compare gas prices.

Here is an article I wrote to the Milwaukee Journal that was published. I have included the link to the article as well.

Lawmakers must act on better energy policy

In April 2002, Democratic Sen. John Kerry and his colleagues celebrated the defeat of a bill that would have allowed oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. With gas and home heating prices so high, Congress should immediately vote for President Bush's proposal to begin drilling in Alaska for economic and security reasons.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' monopolistic pricing schemes have caused unstable oil prices that continue to harm the U.S. economy. There needs to be a competitive world price for oil.

Some suggest that our president went to war for oil when, at the same time, there are senators in our country voting to maintain our dependency on foreign oil -- a sure thing in the years to come. They can't have it both ways.

My minivan only gets about 18 MPG. I'm thinking of getting a hybrid!


I travel almost 100 miles at least four days a week. Since I'm thinking of changing churches also, that means I'll be going that far six times a week.

I need my own oil field!

I don't want to go into the reasons on a public forum, but I'll be traveling to Green Bay, which is about 40 miles from me.

Can't. My kids are settled in the schools here, and I'm not moving them again.

I plan on moving after they are done with school, but that won't be until about 2012.

You could sell off some of your kids to pay for the gas!

Depends on who I'm selling.

My son I'd have to pay someone to take.

My daughter would go for a high price...LOL!
