i saw a gas station the other day, that has changed their price sign, from like 82.5, to 082.5 ..... that worries me... cus u know its gonna be over a dollar soon when they start changing signs.....

i think its ghey, how when i got my license it was like 46.5 now its 82.5, and every once in a while u get a station that will drop their prices to like 50cents, if gas is so expensive and taxes so high.... how can a station do that and not lose its shirt???

Only reason I ever stayed away from Diesel was because of the noise, but now there getting so quiet that in couple years might get myself a TDI of sorts if they come out with something not so boxy looking.... then my luck diesel will be up to like 90cents/litre lol....

If they would just realize that if a couple stations go low they'll make just as much money as one with high prices will [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Even as a promotion or something.


The only people that will buy the expensive gas are people that really need it and cant wait. Rich people, and people that just dont care and aren't bothered to look for cheaper.

the government is now calling an investigation...

LAH DEE FREAKIN DAH!!!

The investigators will get payoffs again, just like the last few times, and they'll find that there's no way that the gasolene industry is fixing prices.

In the US, the average gas price, converted and everything, is 70 cents canadian a litre... so we're almost 50% more expensive here.

come on canadians, bend over and take it like the sheep you are!

I don't expect the government to do anything. they're "invesitgating" whether the companies have gotten together and decided to stick it to us. if they have colluded to raise prices, that is illegal.
