Gasoline here is $1.41 per litre, it costs a small fortune now to fill up a car. I filled a 5 gallon can of diesel last weekend for the skidder, it cost $38.00 for 5 gallons. The price for diesel was $1.48 a litre. I remember when I started driving gas was 49 cents a gallon. You could drive for a week on $5.00. Now it is $5.00 to take the nozzel off the pump and put it in your car. They are saying for people to use public transport but when you live in the country as I do you have no other way to get around other then your own vehicle.
In the spring the price was just over $1.00 a litre and they said by summer it would be $1.50 a litre , surprise they were right. It went to that price because they wanted it there.(crooks) There should be a law against it but the government won't do anything about it because the higher the price the more money they get from it.

well, it's $1.38/l here in new brunswick....f$#@ing highway robbery!! with a 30 year reserve of oil, why do we buy foreign oil? why not use our reserve, refine it and sell it to canadians only, no export. we could control the price much better, and they could peddle their oil elsewhere!! or, we could sell them one bushel of wheat for the same price they sell us a barrell of oil...wonder how that would go over?? free trade, free oppertunity...goose and gander.
