You hit the nail on the head. I think we pay something stupid close to 20 bucks for a pack of cigarettes now, where in the States their cheap as dirt....I think. All taxes.

Free health care is sweet though. And Hockey.

Love your country, fear your government...
Europe does the same thing, only worse. It's called socialism.
I'm glad we're next door to you, and we benefit from a system somewhere in between.
Our taxes are too high, but so are yours, and it's gettting worse in a hurry. The main reason you can benefit the way you do is, smaller country, huge population. You have the economies of scale on your side. We don't.
I am next door to NY state, and the difference in gas, and smokes is not that much.

For increased performance and reduced deposits...I always put premium gas (US 91 octane) in my M3. I give the same treatment to my KLX...especially since its just 1+ gallons. Not all 'premium' gas is created equal. Amongst M3 and other performance car enthusiasts...Chevron and 76 are leaders of the pack in clean running, premium gasoline.

Weird that you mentioned VPower is 91. Over here, it's 95.
