gas gouging has started!
 

with the threat of hurricane Rita, gas prices, of course, were expected to rise. go to http://www.gasbuddy.com to see various prices across the country.

184.0 @ Olco in Fort Erie, Ontario
179.9 @ Irving in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia

although other places seem to have moderate increases (although i still believe the gas/oil companies are gouging us beyond belief)

:mad:

I just found 189.0 @ Pioneer in Stoney Creek, Ontario

holy shit.. i'm just about to drive up to SUDBURY from brampton tomorrow !!!!!!! GRRRRR.. SCREW YOU RITA!!!!!!!



MrJynx

lucky for you, it seems the further north you go, the cheaper it gets...

well I hope that's the case :) maybe i'll stop off @ rama on the way up and play some baccarat.. pay for the gas :)

although there are LOTS of rumours going around that its going up.... some people have said as high as 3$ a litre....

i dont believe that though

edit: all the super-duper high ones seem to be disappearing. although there is a picture on CTV's website that shows a girl filling up at 167.4

Go to www.torontogasprices.com to see what the prices really are....

I just checked and Markham and Newmarket are $1.04/liter for regular.

I'm sure it will go up this weekend though :mad:

Obviously the CEOs at the gas companies don't drive rotary cars :D

they may, but they have huge fat wallets padding their over-sized asses :D

Huge oil companies....
 

We should all boycott the huge Fat-Cat oil companies, and teach them a.....wait, you said Olco...and Irving Oil, right?


....never mind :o

:D S

the current reports going out accross ottawa radio stations right now is that you should fill up now. i just filled up my moms car at 97.5. the price is expected to be over 2$ a litre (yes, read that again if ou need to) after midnight tonight :mad:

and for our american friends, that converts too:

1 US Gallon = 3.7854118 Litres

1 US $ ~ 1.16 CA $

that means that we will be paying about 6.53 a gallon!!!!! :eek:

and we arent getting hit by the hurricane! well, at least not meteorologically :mad:

I filled up last night in stouffvile for the regular 114.1/L for premium. NO big deal. I waited only about 5 minutes before getting to the pump.

Think yourselves slightly better off than us Brits, we are almost at £1 GBP a ltr, so with exchange rates etc thats over $8 USD a Gallon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thankfully these rumors didnt prove to be true, at least not here, yet.... but it was hell trying to get to any gas station last night, they were all packed like crazy, especially in my end of town, since it was below 1$

We filled up yesterday using the company car and we were a bit suprise.

Sign says 179.9

but the pump says 104.3.

We went to this gas station because there was no line up and was not our money to spend anyway. We were suprised what this gas station was doing.

they could have been trying to keep hold of their stock... ive heard a few people around here say that too. that some stations have the price showing as really high, but once you get to the pump, its a different story....

at least its not what was predicted/rumoured to happen. and now with the hurrican starting to fall apart and not hit the refineries as hard as predicted, that should hopefully bring prices down again....

I'd be interested in finding out who everyone thought is responsible for these price increases: The Station owner or the oil company like Imperial Oil etc.

I gas my RX8 at 108.9 (regular at 97.5) today downtown Trenton, yesterday was the panic day but today everything is back to normal...thank god
