Just a few weeks ago the special was just $2.65. Prices are going through the roof!
+1 ... that's what I thought too ...

My refill this morning was a bowl of Raisin Bran ($0.50) half a protein bar ($1.50) and I put a scoop of gatorade crystals in the reserve tank ($0.10) along with a carb-gel ($2.00)... $4.10 to go 62 km.

My Grand Caravan (I need that hog because it's wheelchair accessible for my son) would cost $12.30 for that trip (not to mention insurance and maint. costs... oh wait, I sorta did just mention those. Oh well.)
