Gas Going Up to $1.12 Tonight

[Mr Ontario]

Gas up before midnight tonight. Going up to $1.12 from $1.06 here where I live.

[champcar99]

some parts on the west coast it's 1.20 plus a litre...

[IronRobi]

I'd be happy if gas dropped down to 1.12! I'm paying $1.21 right now

[MuSuLPhReAk]

It was 1.19 today. And that's normal here.

[Mr Ontario]

What the fack up with that! Can the French afford more?


It was 1.19 today. And that's normal here.

[shithead]

My engine on my Maxima pings if I dont put super in it as its one of Nissans VQ line.

Oh yeah.........I pay about $1.27 and have to travel 100K/day.

[Preacher]

1.21 here has been for 2 weeks now..... better not go up... got no other transportation in this neck of the woods....

[mcgee]

i pay $1.30+ (as of last week), but that is premium fuel. I think regular grade is 10 cents less.

[Freebsd1977]

$1.00.9 at the Sunoco near me but I put ultra94 in my SUV :-)

$1.20.0

[turboturist]

1.21 for reg gas and 1.24 for diesel here already and going up.

holy shit some places are high, I was paying 1.11 for regular, today it went up to 1.16, witch sucks!!!

[mcgee]

regular is 1.25 here right now

I might have to use .20 cc's less a week so I can afford to pay for gas.

[Mr Ontario]

That or cut down on the juice dosage per week :)

There is, you just have to bring a native with you.....

[leeroy]

How much do the natives get it at?

[tripleA]

Natives who live on reserves are tax exempt on everything - they have a special card. How much federal/provincial tax do we pay for a liter of gas? Not sure but I'd estimate 35-40%.

[Mr Ontario]

Yes! I would like to know as well....do they get to save the tax? if thats the case they say all the cost hikes are because of tax or the majority of it.

well it won't be long until $1.5 regular is the norm.

i remember when you could actually buy $5 worth of gas and be able to drive more than a block before it was gone.....

[IronRobi]

Way back when I got my liscence it was in the middle of a gas war here. It was down to as low as $0.34/liter.... I paid $1.28 this afternoon, almost a full dollar more per liter.

[Gettin'r'round]

dammit!!!!!!!!! up 2c since yesterday, i keep puttin in $20-30 bucks hopin it goes down. ya sure.....

[Freebsd1977]

I love how the oil execs are now blaming truck and suv owners for high fuel prices and let the attack on bio-fuels begin as well. People in poor countries are starving because bio-fuels are raising food prices up, GIVE ME A BREAK!
Fuel prices should drop, we got surplus of it.
OPEC CAN GO TO HELL!

It's not just raising food prices, it's raising the price of everything. Think of this for a second. 99% of everything we use is brought in by truck/plain/boat. Those all use fuel. Price of fuel goes up, it costs companies more to bring the product in. Higher delivery costs means a higher priceto the consumer. We aren't just paying for this rise in price at the pumps, we are paying for it with almost everything we buy.

[Gettin'r'round]

As much as we all might bitch and moan, gas in acutally cheap. I mean oil demand is increasing while supplies are shrinking, and oil will eventually be gone altogether. It has much more important uses than getting you from A to B. Check out todays National Post biz section. The major auto manu. want the gov't to increase the cost of fuel. Why? So they won't have to work as hard to improve the efficiency of their cars. Only through the increased cost of fuel will we become more fuel efficient. You should check out Europe where gas is twice the cost. As for becoming our own island where we keep our gas for ourselfs, won't work. Take a look at Iran. They are swimming in oil, but have to import gasoline and subsibising it a a HUGE cost to the gov't. WHy? Why would anyone build a gasonline refinery when gas is sold for pennies a litre? Plus there is NO incentive whatsoever to improve auto efficiences, so they drive big dirty old cars that use lots and lots of gas.
I'm still floored when I see people driving HUGE SUV's. Have fun @$1.20/L!

Ironrobi: You should have waited for today's inflation rate announcement, it's going down here! for how long :who knows?

[IronRobi]

Not here. It went up another 4c this morning. And we have regulated pricing so it's going to stay up for another 2 weeks reguardless of what the market does.

thankfully i sold my jeep that got 7mpg on a good tank hahaha

i paid 1.29 last night for 91 and today it's up 3c! shame i put in only $30 (3/4tank). still I got a good laugh as the guy in front was filling his 125L tank in his Silverado before I got there and was still there pumping after I put in $30, paid the cashier, and drove away! bwahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm guessing $130 fillup...

[bigben]

It sucks. I can see it putting a damper on summer travel plans for many. Maybe even retail suffers because people chose not to drive around and shop for something to do.

Down to 1.299. Am I supposed to feel better now???

[Gettin'r'round]

i'm gonna fill up today, it's down 1c! But I can guarantee is going up tomorrow. sheeeesh

Haven't done cardio in years but I think I might take out the bike soon and start biking to work. At least I'll be leaner this summer.

[Freebsd1977]

Not too shabby a deal for the oil companies though, diesel is unprocessed. :-(

I filled my truck with diesel this morning $1.39 per liter :mad:
un frickin believable ... diesel is a by product of gas which they used to throw away !!! I hate the government !! when I was in the states last weekend it worked out to $0.85 per liter .. you can't say it is because of oil prices it is because our government is FAWKED !!!!!

Endorsed by Rudolf Diesel himself
It turns out biodiesel is not a new idea. When Rudolf Diesel introduced his signature engine at the 1900 Paris Exposition, he said two words as he started it: "Peanut oil." He'd designed his engine so farmers could grow their own fuel. Most diesel engines were indeed run on vegetable oil until the 1920s, when the petroleum industry promoted a gasoline byproduct as diesel fuel.


There is a lil info that I found on the net
it being a by product of gas was something I heard a long time ago, seems like it was at one time...

ain't gonna work! Those damm diesel engines are so efficient that they don't produce much heat. If the outside temp is below freezing (kingston..brrrr) then you are going to grind to a halt sooner rather than later. My bro had a cummins Ram and he plugged her in @ night and on the -20 days he saw the temp guage drop on his way into work!

We have an 06 dodge ram with the cummins it starts no prob in -30c without being plugged in and heats up just fine once being driven for 10-15min. So unless your bro has something weird going in with his truck he is taking out his ass.

[Gettin'r'round]

it was an '99 ram, i imagine they have improved them since. he was on his 3rd transfer pump when he ditched it ($750/pop). you?

[Freebsd1977]

Well I do know that you have to upgrade all your lines to stainless if you decide to run a high level biofuel. The oil is quite corrosive to rubber and you'll leak sooner or later if you don't upgrade. BTW, biodiesel makes diesel engines last longer as it lubricates the engine innards better than diesel itself.

Win, win in my book. :hu

[Gettin'r'round]

i'm not sure about replacing the lines, but it does clean the engine as biodiesel has no sulfur and heavy metals (at least it should)

Have not had any repairs or probs at all. Although we have not tried running any other fuel but what you get at the reg pumps.

I am hearing the price of a barrel is going to go up to over $200 within the next few years. It's $122 at the moment. That would mean the price of gas per litre will be over 2.00. I have a feeling the world will be changing for the worst.

Oh ye of little faith! The Europeans have been living with gas prices twice as high as ours for decades. And they have adjusted. Most cars are small with tiny 4cl with the bigger cars with v6 and the occasional v8.

We will adjust, but it's hard when it's such a rapid rise but oil at $200 will cause a HUGE increase in demand for more fuel efficient vehicles and gizmo's and gadgets. For instance I heard yesterday that Sears will be the first to sell a drain heat recovery system. When you run hot water down the drain via showers, dishwashers, washing machines etc, this gizmo will pipe cold water into the system to be warmed via the waste water then the warm water will be piped into the water heater. Supposedly will pay for itself in 4-5years. This is just the beginning. GM's plug-in electric Volt car if they get is right will be HUGE.

[Mr Ontario]

No! I didn't see them on the floor at Canadian tire....So I want to the parts department and said he had them in the back.....I guess people were stealing them too lol I told him to make and year of the car and he gave me one...so I'm not %100 sure it was a universal one. It worked either.....a little ti deus showing the girlfriend how to use it. lol

News paper is printed on paper. Paper is manufactured from wood pulp. Wood is a great source of ethanol. He's making ethanol at home.:yeah

[Mr Ontario]

I heard that Freebsd1977 uses used toilet paper for fuel..and is asking if anybody has used to toilet paper to drop it off at his front door :)

Govt warning of $1.50 this summer, gee whiz and I caught David Suzuki snickering on Question Period last week stating that "Canadians will just have to deal with it and that a carbon tax needs to be implemented immediately". M***** F*****, I would nail his head to my wall if he stuck his ugly mug into my house. Guess I could become a Green Preacher and make millions like he does.

Oh well. I live 2 blocks from works and own a Cavalier and a Derbi scooter. :D I save gas just owning them, let alone not having to drive them. :D

We pretty much are. It's the joys of living on an island, all the gas has to be delivered here via truck on ferry or train cars on a barge. I just start to laugh when people are complaining about gas that's 10 cents cheaper than what we pay, no offense.

But, I think I have a solution, and something that would give an incentive to people to be smarter regarding their choice of vehicle. To understand me, I'm a car lover. I'm a driver. I hate automatic's and CVT's, it's not true driving. I love the art of driving, cornering - everything. But, that doesn't mean that I like the gas prices.

My belief? I believe that the larger the vehicle, the higher gas price one should be paying per liter for that vehicle. Why should someone buying an economical commuter vehicle that is enough to do what they need pay the same price as someone that wants their vehicle for show? The person creating the largest carbon footprint should be taxed more for it.

Sure they are in some ways, but where is the incentive for someone to buy a smaller, less powerful car - besides having a slightly smaller gas tank and having a slightly better EPA. The person filling the largest tank and driving an inefficient vehicle should pay more in taxes per liter and overall volume, where as the person driving the more economical car should get a break on the tax per liter and overall volume.

As well, if more people would realize that they do not need a 5.7 liter Hemi to drive 2 kids to school and to and from the grocery store, and drive more efficient models then there would be less of a demand for gas from foreign sources, leading to less overall volume needed to bring in, resulting in a lower overall gas price. More efficient vehicles means less consumption, and better for all of us in the end.

Matt :)

[Mr Ontario]

You may just started a debate on that :)

Hi Matt, what you say is true but it will only happen in a fantasy world. We all know that gas prices are heavily influenced by greed by the oil companies and the govt. Gas price of 1.29/liter is over 40% - 50% tax according to the Canadian Tax Payers Association. Do you think the govt collects enough taxes? Ottawa can easily remove the burden on its citizens by lowering the gas tax but those fatcats are wayyyy too happy filing up their coffers. Heard last week aobut the lastest govt scam, a bunch of MP's used tax payer money to pay for their own private home improvements, nice huh?

BTW, don't you dare knock down my Lotus Exige S, she gets 26 MPG! :friday

I've got no issues with the Lotus bro, she's a fine car, one of the best! Handling in those things is superb. Besides, you'd still qualify - in my fantasy world - as a 4 cylinder car, meaning it's in the eco class. :D

Hey ****ers....GAS JUST HIT 151.9 in montreal!!!!

[DirtyWhiteBoy]

Hey ****ers....GAS JUST HIT 151.9 in montreal!!!!Thats nothing just wait, the arabs want $300 per barrel within two years, try $3.00 a litre by next christmas. Once they have bankrupted all our airlines, trucking companies and everyone else that goes under from the high prices they will buy up all those companies for pennies on the dollar and then drop the prices so they can operate them at a profit, this is what I see happening, its a global economic takeover by the arabs, discuss..

[leeroy]

More wars.

[Mr Ontario]

Send there own kind back to where they came from. Close the boarders to immigrants. Are own government should be looking after there own in a time of crisis then worrying about every other facking country.

Damn. Time to ask the obvious question: HEY PM HARPER! You awake?

I'm sick of this small worldism outlook. The world is paying through the ass for oil. Oil is finite, production is flat (or decreasing) and demand is UP! So what do you think is going to happen? Basic economics of supply and demand.

In a few years all the new high tech research into alternative energy supplies/devices etc will start hitting the market. This is only because of the super high cost of oil. The world is unfolding as it should, but it hurts in the short term.

not to get on ya Freebsd1977 personally bro.

Seriously, enough is enough with the tax system in Canada, lower the god damn gas tax NOW! We as Canadians are overtaxed, we need help before riots start soon.

[Mr Ontario]

Wow got gas today at 123.5 especially for the long weekend.

[IronRobi]

126.9 here.... this is what they do. They put it up to stupidly high levels, that way when they lower it down to a level we all would have bitched about we all celebrate and spend tons of money

[Canadian Bodybuilding]

139.9 last time I checked yesterday.

[Freebsd1977]

1.219 here in King's TOWN! :-)

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Grumble grumble. 12 cent increase in 1 day.

[IronRobi]

So to bring this back from the dead, hurricane Ike hit texas, our gas here went from 126 to 140.0 even. 14c increase overnight!! What happened in the rest of the country?

[Gettin'r'round]

heard texas prices went up 4c/L.

[Mr.Freeze]

when up 20cent at 1.49$ over here.

[Gettin'r'round]

gas is going down midnight, good as i'm just below 1/4 tank and I fill with premium!

[AlbertaBeef]

I couldn't figure how speculators drive the price up on market and it directly effected the price in the big ass gas tanks at the gas stations bought at a lower price????? Talk about a scam and worse the gov't does nothing except say they will look into it, maybe.

[Mr Ontario]

Where? and down to what?


gas is going down midnight, good as i'm just below 1/4 tank and I fill with premium!

[UkrainianGuy]

$1.45 actually filled up hours before the hike.. either way - i need gas.. so i think i will invest more in my home entertainment than drving around.. woohoo excuses to upgrade home theatre system!!!
:yeah

[tex]

prices are expected to fall significantly......price of oil is declining.....futures are toast....gas should follow suit......ike did not hurt production.......

[UkrainianGuy]

doesnt matter just like the the bullshit they shovel about 9/11 they can make up any excuse to raise the princes.. "Oh the plant had no electricity for 2 days" or "there so much water it slowed down the transportation of fuel thus costing million of dollars."

there is no way to win this battle ... but hey there always a MOPED!

[gsxr750]

Crude Oil Prices... funny how the prices haven't been going down at the pumps.

http://www.oil-price.net/1q_small.gif

[tex]

they? ......prices in texas arent jacked up......and they already reported that ike didnt do any hard damage to production in the gulf......they are expecting prices to fall in canada in the near future as well.....

[tex]

^^ it usually takes 6 months for the price to be effected at the pump....remember the time between gettin it out of the ground to processing to getting it to you......you gotta cycle through it all chief......

[gsxr750]

Then I shouldn't be feeling the effects of Ike for 6 months either.

[UkrainianGuy]

no no u got it wrong they jacked the price OVERNIGHT cause they ANTICIPATE Ike effecting production... so when will they anticipate good things and lower the prices.. lol

[gsxr750]

Yea like when they invaded Iraq!

[UkrainianGuy]

.... well hey whos more stupid, those that invaded Iraq or those that followed USA into Iraq... Canada got bullied into it.

[MuSuLPhReAk]

I just finished paying off my first car. Only has a 2.4L so gets decent fuel economy but I drive 112km round trip to work every day. Wanted to bite the bullet and buy a Prius but I'm trying to save up for a house and even used hybrids are fairly $$$. I hope gas prices don't keep going up, this summer is probably going to be really brutal.

[Mr Ontario]

lol 135 now here lol What a joke!


Gas up before midnight tonight. Going up to $1.12 from $1.06 here where I live.

Without higher gas prices there will be no pressure develop truly sustainable alternative energy sources and people will continue to buy cars which are fuel inneficient.
