Oh, I don't think that's true here. Will try to pay attention next time I fill up.

That's not much of a moan ? You need more practise moaning, go to Etobicoke and fill up, that should do it

Was about $1.30-1.32 in and around Guelph last weekend.

$1.39 at the Petro Canada on Stone Road this morning if I recall correctly.

Hopefully no one has a Hummer or such.

Sure it could be worse. You could be back in the UK and paying ~1.30GBP :D

Sorry. OMG! It cost me fifteen cents more to fill up this week than last; and my fuel consumption went from 20.5 to 20.2 mp(US)g.

Does that sound more panic stricken?

Gas is a lot more expensive in QC than it is in ON. It gets more expensive the further from ON you get. It's wickedly expensive in Montreal, which is bizarre. There is a refinery there and I imagine that is where the gas is produced. You can't really blame anything on transport costs!

I paid 44.9¢/gal for 20 gallons a couple of days ago, thanks to a BP discount promotion. :blink:

$1.399 last night when I filled up the truck. Went up $0.02 overnight. (Regulated gas prices in Newfoundland). Glad I have only 10 months lease on the truck left and don't drive far.;)
