Nice to hear others are still paying CND prices for fuel

It's always been a sore spot with me. The oil comes out of the ground all around me. Gets refined North of us then gets shipped south to the U.S. where they get it cheaper than us

We are currently $2.64 a gal. /$.70L which I haven't seen in a LOT of years! Premium is 10 cents more a litre.

It's the damn taxes. There is almost a $1 difference in price from the Shell gas station around the corner from me and the Costco less than 5 minutes north from me.

Yup, us Canadians know all too well about high personal taxes!

49% of the money we earn goes to taxes!!! It's crazy, but I Love our country!

I said once a week, though in reality my answer is just about every chance I get!

Most of my driving is commuting in freeway traffic, so wot is just not practical for that... and my average speed is just shameful to ever even display for such a high performance machine.

But if take a cruise to my ladies in the evening, or a weekend road trip, spot a small stretch of open highway, or even take it to my favorite local mountain roads, I definitely utilize that pedal in the Sport + mode!!

It's really amazing how well the tranny adapts to this aggressive footwork too enhancing the performance driving sessions - letting the gears rev up higher, staying in gear, etc.

And oh yeah, seems like the engine sound is coming from a whole different machine when hitting wot - much improved and quite exciting!! I admit, that is my motivating factor many times, I just want to hear it open up when I can..

Well, after 46 poll responses it is clear that most (76%) GS 350 owners give their engine a maximum dose of fuel (a.k.a. WOT) at least once a week, if not daily.
