it stays between 131.9 and 136.9 over here
Yeah actually it went from 119.9c then to 125.9c and then up to 129.9c a ten cent rise in one day. :crazy:

Just wait until Canada's "clean fuel act" takes effect in 2022! That will add 50 cents per litre, although this will be phased in over a decade or two, so won't be an immediate jump. Also, the Line 5 pipeline is set to be shut down in 5 days, and this will effectively shut down oil heading to Ontario from western Canada. This will create all kinds of problems for Canada's energy security for years to come.

They always have a convenient excuse or situation that favours THEM, never US! So pathetic.

All part of the plan to phase out ICE vehicles and phase in EVs.

Because of catastrophic climate change that is occurring now; and it will only ramp up in the future! Or so they say. :liar:

That is generally what is happening, yes. We are seeing signs of it all the time.

As for gas prices, yeah it sucks. I'm considering doing my commute by transit which really sucks out in these parts.

I took the bus every day for 3 years, but my work schedule has changed (I have to drive my kid to school in the mornings), so can no longer take the bus since the schedules don't align.

I would ride my bike, but the highway is very busy and it's basically a death wish to ride along the highway. So I'm forced to drive even if gas went to $1000/lire.

What's most frustrating about the prices is that there isn't really any economic reason for the jump! the dollar is over 82 cents, verging on 83 this morning and WTI crude is under US $65. most annoying!

It's times like this I wish the gas companies hadn't bought up all the rail lines in the 40s so they could rig city planning to revolve around driving.
