what is it in Port Elgin

 

79.9 in Port Elgin. The Highest it has ever been was been 83, the lowest was 49 cents, that was 7 years ago though. and only for a day.

 

yeah, well...what can you do, really?

I have boycotted Esso and Petro, but no one else seems to

 

^Like it's really gonna make a difference. Someone here should buy an oil rig and give us discounted gas.

 

Esso is always jacked up there.

No one raelly can boycott it when they need gas they need gas.

 

They can find alternate means of transportation. If reasonable.

We have no choice but to drive..consdidering we live a good 15 minutes from the closest town..

My dad loves it, he says my 5.7l keeps me close to home, lol

I'm just glad I didnt get that 460 cobra jet Bronco I was looking at

 

In a town near here (Petrolia) they have a raffle each year (~$50/tic?) for the proceeds of the towns oil well that has been pumping for over a hundred years. Usually nets the winner about $5k. Not a big producer by Western standards, but at least one person likes it when crude nears $40/barrel.

Oh ya, filled up for 87.3 today.

I heard on the radio that canada is still one of the cheapest countries for gas. As a major oil producer we have to pay just as much as the rest of the world or else the oil companies would export all the oil to countries that don't produce. Europe pays nearly twice what we do. As for us alberta people, the higher the gas goes the more work we have. Kinda sucks for you people in ontario and BC. You have to pay the high prices but all the money comes back to alberta. I sure am glad my truck is a diesel.
