Okay I don't know about the rest of North America and the world but the price of Gas in the last 3 months has been sneaking up there. It was 58cents on the Litre in the summer but now in Ontario they are trying to pass off 67 cents. I have a feeling by Christmas it will be 70+ cents. I don't think these prices have anything to do with supply and demand but rather Greed. So I'm wondering if this is happening to everyone else or just little old Ontario : )
I'm not to familair with the metric system but that does sound pretty expensive for gas. Here in NY I'm paying $1.37 a gallon for regular unleaded gas. About a year ago it was a little less than $1 a gallon. But that didn't last to long.
Yes. I remember that short period of time, Not Man. In New York the prices were nice for a few months. Now I pay about $1.70 for premium 93. Imagine that for a gallon of gas self-serve. Unreal. It is about greed. Not supply and demand, in my opinion... It's for this reason there will be so many electric cars in our near future...
I've always thought it would be strange to live near the border of Canada. I mean, you can go to another Country in just alittle while. hehe That must be kinda cool...
I envy your buying power right now. If you live close to the border take advantage of our low dollar. Take $20 buy some $20 shoes and come home with change lol - and a tax credit LOL
Well its been an interesting week here in Ontario for Gas. Prices shot up to 72 cents a litre for regular vehicles but even diesel that is usually the cheapest shot up to 71.3 Truckers on some of our busiest highways down near toronto just abandoned their trucks right on the highway leaving the 401 and 400 backlogged for miles and miles. Police are really helpless to do anything and nor do they blame the truckers. In my own city, truckers have camped their trucks on our busiest industry linked highway(road) and refuse to move until the pumps go down. I wish motorists would have the same guts to do this. There is no reason for gas being so high. I don't know what it is like in your neck of the woods but my parents are in Florida and are enjoying fairly cheap gas prices. It seems up North as soon as it turns cold the prices go up. The piss off is that Canada produces their own gas and we are pretty much pipelined across Canada so there is no need to rob consumers. I'm very piss off and had to say something. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT="">
Well right now regular unleaded gas is $1.45 a gallon....to damn much if you ask me. Just a few days ago it was $1.41.....why the sudden increase? I agree Zel there is no reason for an increase like that.
Funny you should mention high gas prices......I just received an e-mail today about a 3 day gas out from April 7, 2000 through April 9, 2000. The message is as follows:
Pay Back Time Again
Anytime we can stick it to them it's a good day. Last year on April 30, 1999, a gas out was staged across
Canada and the U.S. to bring the price of gas down, and it worked. It's time to do something about it again. This time, let's make it for three days instead of just one. The oil cartel decided to slow production to drive up gasoline prices. Lets see how many Canadian\American people we can get to ban together for a three day period in April, NOT TO BUY ANY GASOLINE, during those three days.
LETS HAVE A GAS OUT.
Do not buy any gasoline from APRIL 7, 2000, THROUGH APRIL 9, 2000. Buy what you need before the dates listed above, or after, buy try not to buy any during the GAS OUT. If you want to help, just send this to everyone you know and ask them to do the same. We brought the prices down once before, and we can do it again! Come on North America lets stand together.
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if you receive this 100 times keep passing it around, this way you know everyone is being informed and no one will forget!!!!!!
Solidarity!!! I'm in <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=""> and I'm forwarding this to everyone <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT="">
Ack!! Driving home from work last evening, I noticed gas prices had risen over the day from .67 a litre to a whopping .72 a litre<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=""> - I live in Southern Ontario (Toronto Area) but I'm not too affected by the truckers actions.....just happy I filled up last week before the prices rose, and I sure hope everyone else did too!
Hey Zel! It looks like Mike's getting a little upset already, at the 'gouging' and calling for Ottawa's attention to the gas prices....go Mike go! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">
