Gas shortage
Looks like more and more gas stations are running out of gas. I've been putting in only half a tank of gas at a time for the past two weeks because of rising gas prices, but it looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and pump in 50L just in case.
My gasoline cost for Jan 2007 was probably one of the lowest ever (I just paid the credit card bill yesterday). Looks like Feb 2007 will more than make up for it.
Winter sucks.

What a difference a couple of weeks make! I used to hunt for the best price after 8:00 pm.
Now I just look for a place with gas!
Anyone know when this will end?

Its reported that it will prolly end by the end of next week! But most of is bullshit I think, I heard these refineries blew up like close to 2 mths ago now, and the CN strike is just being used as a crutch by these gas companies, sigh.

Isn't it about the law of supply and demand? Lower supply with the same demand causes the price to increase.

The refinery fire happened fairly recently - last week or the week before. Definitely not two months ago.

OK, have it your way - there was no fire at Nanticoke, there is no 'gaz' shortage, and the empty pumps are actually full.......whatever.

Just be glad I don't own the gas companies. I'd start charging 5 bucks a litre, keep it that way for a couple months, but myself a couple supercars and a few properties, then lower the price to 2 or 3 dollars a litre and you would all be sooooo happy gas was 'cheap' again.
