Well I tell ya, it use to cost me 30 dollars to fill up my tank, and now its up to fifty 8O I don't likes it one little bit...I am gonna have to start riding my bike up island :twisted: Which reminds me I heard that they cannot keep bicycles in stock...everyone is buying them faster than they can get them in 
I guess we should thank somebody for that.

"thank" in this case , takes on a whole new meaning. :x
put $15.00 gas into MG today......and the needle barely moved.
Have noticed a LOT more bykes around lately....... :wink:
How much is everyone paying these days? I'm paying 95 a litre, full serve (sorry had to rub that one in)
I paid $1.06 in Saskatchewan. It was .99 just down the highway though. If only I had known. The thing that really sucks is that both of those co-ops are part of the same group. The cheaper one just hadn't sold all the gas from its last shipment yet. So how come other gas stations don't wait for their next shipment to raise prices?
They did a study of gas prices and found that not only do gas prices go up on Mondays and before long weekends, but that gas prices will go up before the rush hour commute too.
it's 99.7 self serve reg here blech! Ours can only change price 2 times a month though, they just ratified the taxes a year ago so it wasn't a flat rate, but I think that they may go back to the flat rate to be re-elected.
It's 105.9 cents a litre where I live, almost exactly half what a European friend of mine pays; regular gas in Rotterdam when I spoke to him on the phone last week was 1.49 euros a litre.
$1.06 doesn't seem too bad to me.

That's true, Dexter. European prices are a lot higher than here. They do tend to have alternatives though. Where I live there is no bus service to speak of.
Alll you hear is the lack of refining capacity .This is a total lie in Canada :evil: I spent three years of my life shutting down Shell,Esso,and Petro Can refinerys on the West coast and the rational for these closures they had more tham enough capacity in Alberta 8O Were being sold a lie on this one people :evil: They can make more than enough gas
Re: RE: Gas Prices :-(
Yep. Their cities are relatively smaller too, according to what I've seen at Google Earth. They don't seem to have the sprawl North American cities have; things appear more compact and closer together, so walking's an option more often for them. Public transit seems to be better organized too, according to what I hear, and the bicycling season's a lot longer in most European locations than it is around here.
I don't think I believe that stuff about lack of refining capacity either. Actually I tend to doubt most things any "authorities" tell me. A hangover from growing up in the '60s, perhaps...

Nationalise our major resources like lumber, oil, minerals and be done with it already. I mean, for chrissake, no private corporation (particularly foreign owned) should be able to rape our land and make obscene profits from what is collectively ours to begin with. :evil: :evil:
