    Make sure you vote in November. Denying the Keystone was insanity!

    You've got me confused a bit here, what does the Keystone pipeline have to do with gas prices? It's used to transport synthetic oil and bitumen, none of which are used in gasoline production....

    Today was 132.9 in most places here today. (SW-Ontario). It seems to be a game some days as you can travel from one side of town to the other and the price can fluctuate with a .05- .07/litre difference. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

    The one good thing about regulated prices in our province, you don't need to guess at the price each day, it only changes overnight Thursday. Unless that's a dramatic change of gas at the harbor prices.

    Today gas prices have gone up in my area, and they are the highest they have EVER been.
    It's absolutely ridiculous. 142.9 cents per liter! Seriously?!?!

    Same here! Maybe we live near the same area. :O

    I sold my car 6 months ago and started using a car sharing service. The cars have a gas card in them if I ever have to fill up the tank, so it gets charged to the company and not out of my pocket. (At least, not at the tank.) I do miss the "get up and go" of having my own car, but definitely glad I'm not paying these gas prices!!

    I want to know why these prices are going up exactly. Why is nothing being done about it?

    It's a globally traded commodity, it's not something that can changed by one person or one country. It's dictating by the world energy prices and the stock markets :(

    Good things take time. And it is time for us to start tapping into our resources.

    Tell me about it. It's bad enough filling up the truck for work. But filling up the toys hurts even more. I burn about 50 gallons of gas per weekend between the boat and truck. When they crank it up to $4.00/gallon plus. Well, let's just say it sucks.

    Yep the US has it good. $2.17 per litre here in the UK (and my area is cheaper than most).

    Which means $8.228 per gallon (assuming we're talking a US gallon not a UK one (theres about 1 litre difference in it).
