We're at 2.50 in Richmond. Its gone up 45 cents since my sis was here 3 weeks ago. I filled my tank last week at 2.30 and on my fixed income after Ostara I'll be staying home, that includes going to the grocers, docs, whatever.

That's per U.S. gallon I presume, about 66 U.S. cents per liter. I pay 99.9 Canadian cents per liter for regular gas, about 87 U.S. cents. Herman's paying $2.27 Canadian per liter in Britain, about $1.94 in U.S. funds, according to this handy little site.

Whatever the price in each area, the gov'ts haven't increased taxes. So that means the price hikes are strictly due to the oil companies.

Gasoline futures slipped more than 2 cents to settle at $1.9021 a gallon.

Prices might drop again because oil is back down, but I really doubt it.

The thing to do is decrease demand. I biked to the store 5 miles away this morning. Took about a half hour there and a bit less back. The price of gas there this morning is $106.9
