thanks for some insight into the 'system'....it seems to confirm what we have suspected (known) for years: that we're being ripped a 'new one' daily.
I'm not sure of the solution, except that if we consume less, then demand will drop as will the price.-- the experts say even by 10% reduction will work.
LOL, I can't say that I'm doing my part now that I have 2 rides (for 1 driver), and one is my new M45!

Gas price was $0.95 last night when I filled up and this morning, at the same gas station, it's $1.19. It's got to be the same gas in their tanks. I wish for once that someone could provide a rational explanation for the increase. But I doubt there is one. It's just greedy gas companies.

$1.29 this morning. Was $1.19 Wednesday morning, and $0.95 Tuesday night. All at the same gas station! Just outrageous. I heard that today is some sort of "boycott the gas stations" day that someone was organizing on the Internet.

Hovering between 109.9 and 114.9 for regular gas here in Vancouver area.
Do you people out east have a standing 3.5 cent discount per litre?? -- Our signage is, for instance, 114.9 but the pump reads 111.4. It started in the rural areas but has spread to the big cities. A few have discounted as high as 5 cents/litre.
