88 cents a l - we are being screwed!
 
I'm not sure about the price of gasoline in your part of the "east", but in Montreal, it has reached ridiculous levels. Why are these companies allowed to operate as one giant monopoly? This just makes me so freaking mad! These guys just magically raise their prices at the same time to the same level, and we're supposed to think that something ain't fishy about it? They are using the current political climate as an excuse to rip off the consumer once again.

:o

I work at an Esso station and you don't know how many people blame *ME* for the high price :rolleyes:

I think whats fishy, is the impending war.

Mik February-9th-2003 12:09 PM

76.9 advertised, 73.4 after permanent discount in Edmonton. You guys are not alone.

Do all the gas stations out east offer a 3.5c "discount" also?

midnightblue97 February-9th-2003 12:58 PM

Count your blessings. In europe Gas is WAY more expensive. Yeah I complain too, but we're spoiled in North America.

Gas out here in Vancouver is terrible too. 81.9 here. It sucks. I take a gas can every Monday now too take all the cheap gas I can. We don't have the 'Save 3.5cent/litr' as in Alberta. I really don't understand that 3.5cents/litr thing, makes no cents.(scents) :D

bigbillsfan February-9th-2003 01:43 PM

here in london we are sitting at 79.9 cents, it's a fu*kin' joke!

Radd92ProSE February-9th-2003 04:17 PM

Loundarp February-9th-2003 10:06 PM

I don't know what your complaing about but Im paying $1.40 here in the states. Thats by the gallon, I don't know how you Canadians do it? It hasnt been .80 cents here since I was 16.

rowan February-10th-2003 12:29 AM

We go by Litres. Damn haven't you people down there heard of the Metric system? hehehe

1 L => 0.26 Gal

It's hovering in the upper 70's in Toronto right now .. might go down for a while tomorrow morning for the commuting people.

86 cents for regular and 92 for premium. 60-something at the Indian reserve with a gas card.

Raptor February-11th-2003 06:19 AM

Imagine this

0.80 $CAD / liters * 3.785412 liters/US Gallon = 3.03 $CAD / US gallon

3.03 $CAD/US Gallon * 0.6531 $US / $CAD = 1.97$ US / US Gallon.

So you can imagine why we are complaining.

To pay 1.40US/Gallon in $ Cad/Liters = 56.6 cents a liters.

Loundarp February-11th-2003 06:51 AM

well this morning is 89 cent in moncton, 10 cent jump!! :eek:
