Gas Jump?

I was in northern Ontario moose hunting the last week of September and first few days of October. My son had to leave a couple days before I left camp, as he had to return to work for Monday, October 4th. He drove though North Bay, Ontario on Saturday, October 2nd and reported the gas to be $0.969/Litre (that's about $4.40/Imp Gal).

Two days later I drove though North Bay and had to pay $1.099/Litre (that's about $4.99/Imp Gal.). That's almost $0.60/gal increase in 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!! The word "GOUGING" came to mind!

FYI: If you factor in the US to cdn exchange rate and the conversion from Imp gal to US gal, then a $1.099/L figure would convert to about $3.90 US per US gal if bought in Canuckistan!

When ever I cross over stateside (I live right on the Canada / US border), I can save $20 per tank fill-up easily....and that's paying $2.84/US gal.

Still trying to find a reason. Does Obanana have a gas czar? Maybe he would know...:rolleyes:

Speculators driving up the cost of the barrel, weak dollar isn't helping.

This all despite the fact that there's adequate reserve and actually a gas glut right now.

Agree with Luke too, they have it, we need it, ergo, we pay. :mad:
