Gas, at it's cheapest, thusfar, is 69.9. I like it in C-town when I could get it at 54.5. Damn. What are you paying and where?

Not yet, but I am not under their payroll yet. I am still under WCB.

Man the gas prices blow here. They were, 2 days ago 73.5, then yesterday they went from 73.5, to 71.3, to 70.5 and today they are back up to 75.5. What the hell? Are you telling me that prices need to change that quickly. Don't tell me gas companies are 'already making a slim profit'. That's bunk, especially went some campanie can afford to 'update' their pumps,......right. I know, on the stock exchange yesterday, the price of a barrel went up by over a buck but, come on.

btw,
the general trend in Vancouver is that gas cycles in price.

It's usually at it's cheapest on Sunday night and goes back up on Monday mornings.

This cycle thing has been going on for several years now.

Used to be Thursdays that it goes up... then they changed it to wednesdays, then tuesdays, and now mondays.

And if you don't know of this site:
