they'll try and blame the high prices on anything they can ..
when i was in michigan a couple weeks ago, i saw prices at stations vary as much as 35cents/gallon ... and thats not form city to city, that's from block to block

Well, the price of gas in Brantford always seems to be less than other places like the K-Dub, GTA, and the Hammer...
Though pricey, I still go and buy the gas and not bitch about how pricey it is, simply because nobody is holding a pistol to my head and telling me that I SHALL drive, and SHALL buy gas...just a choice we all gotta make...
BTW, I'm gonna go check the price here now anyways since I need some gas for tommorow...

Well i live in melville, and i work at a gas station. At this point and time the gas is 103.9 per. and it's spos to jump up another 20 cents i hear. ..
And Man do people bitch about it. not that I want to pay my whole pay check just to fill up my car , but wat the hell am I , a gas jockey spos to do. use my window "squeegee" to wipe back prices?
But i guess that's half the job. do the s**t work no one else wants to do.

High horsepower cars and suvs suck gas and until the number of efficient vehicles on the road goes up - or we start driving less - demand for crude will continue along with high prices.
my 2 cents.

You can also thank, China, and India for the higher demands for gas too, since these two countries decided to modernize quickly the demand has shot up in those areas in just the last 6 years alone, infact a bike is a rare site in shanghi, and beijing these days.
I'm not at all suprised in the soon to be mad jump in the pump prices, Oil hit over $71 a barrel yesterday, and it's going to go higher depending how long it's going to take the southern states to get their Oil plants back to normal.

Well, I just went on a drive to investigate the prices...a few places on King George road were at 98.5 and 98.9 per L, but everywhere else I was was upto 119.9 per litre...nice little price hike eh? And I used to think I was in an exclusive club paying 103.5 per L for Ultra last summer...lol

Gas is something like 1.20 here this morning! Glad I don't need to fill up for a couple days!

Apparently Ottawa, Chatham and Windsor are taking a s**t kicking.
North Bay's at 104.3 for the most part, has been for days now. I filled the Focus after hearing confirmed reports of Ottawa @ 120+c/L. I was due anyways with 1/8th of a tank left. Normally we're 8-10 cents/L higher than the GTA and Ottawa.
So... who else wants a hybrid? I think my next new car priorities have shifted in the past 6 months.
Oh, and did you guys read the BS from PM Martin about the fact he's "watching for gas company price collusion, and Ottawa will intervene as soon as they detect it"? BAHAHAHAHA. Right.

I'll work on the conversions.... but across the gorge.. .I paid ~$2.70/gallon.. up about $.20/gallon from yesterdayour problem here is that our goverment taxes gasoline outrageously..i dont have the exact percentage but i think someone will chime in wiht it later.
1 gallon = ~3.7 liters, close enough for me.
$2.70 = ~$3.33
3.33/3.7 = .9
so I guess ~$.90ter here.. that was this morning at about 6am though.. I'm sure they've gone up since then...
wonder how much $$$ these people are going to make off of us now.. I'm sure they have the reserves, and just needed yet another excuse to raise prices again..
and I still have to top off the tank friday morning before I leave for the great white north..

if memory serves me right I remember reading those stickers on the pumps and 47% stick out for some reason... that might just be for federal taxes though..... either way I know the actual gas station makes about 1-2 cents per litre.... that's why EVERY gas station seems to have a friggen mini store inside of it.

^^-- not all of us live 2 hours away from work... ;)
the sad part is that Canada is a net exporter of oil... why we gotta suffer?

i tried to warn you all last night, hope you all filled up!!

Just like we produce more power than we consume, but at the end of the day we import power so we can meet demands (especially in Ontario).
We're so ass backward, even Mobile, Alabama is further ahead.
Also, the federal government has received repeated requests of late to lower the gas taxes or repeal the GST entirely on fuel sales, and they've declined every single request.
What's better than a government that won't stop price collusion? A government that refuses to help its people during an artifically-inflated commodity crisis.
BTW... I paid $38.51 for 36.92L of 87 Octane at Crappy. Had I waited till gas hit at least 120.5 c/L for 87 octane, I would have paid out ~ $44.49. OUCH.
So much for my F/I plans on a 85% city-driven Focus. Time to order that 50% UDP from http://www.escortfocus.com :)

Nah, that's a GO-specific clientele :P
Here, it's the hip-waders mixing with the 5-dollar Giant Tiger Taiwanese running shoes. Even Puppet knows this.
Get your demographics straight. :P
