Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / June 2005Gas prices go crazy in Toronto
Currently oscillating between $0.79 and $0.89 per litre or $3.58 and $4.05 Can. per gallon. $4.05 Can per imperial gallon is $2.63 U.S. per U.S. gallon. -Rich It went DOWN to 84.9/liter in the last couple of days.... I live directly above this stuff. That is over $3.20 CA for one US gallon. One of my pick ups has dual tanks.... you wont get change back from a C note at the pump island.... > Currently oscillating between $0.79 and $0.89 per litre > or $3.58 and $4.05 Can. per gallon. $4.05 Can per imperial > gallon is $2.63 U.S. per U.S. gallon. > -Rich >It went DOWN to 84.9/liter in the last couple of days....

I saw two stations tonight; One had it at $0.79, the other at $0.89. I paid $1.00/litre to fill up. -Rich >>It went DOWN to 84.9/liter in the last couple of days....

Signature3am is _never_ a good hour for a summoning - a moment of lost concentration and you've got Nader instead of Nyarlathotep. Amphetamines are not a good idea either: unsafe at any speed. - Cadbury Moose > >>It went DOWN to 84.9/liter in the last couple of days.... I live directly > >>above this stuff.

Most likely for 94, those prices would be for 87. >>>It went DOWN to 84.9/liter in the last couple of days.... I live directly >>>above this stuff. That is over $3.20 CA for one US gallon.

Our prices rise and fall by the hour here. Typically (and I saw it last long weekend) prices are jacked up on Thurs or Friday to hit people who have to fill up. People got smarter so now it's more erratic, but anytime people are definitely going to do travelling, the prices are quickly raised. The oil companies backed off this last summer for awhile owing to media pressure and consumer outrage. Can you imagine if your cable company did this? What I do see happening is a far-sighted company offering consumer "contracts" as has been done with energy and home heating oil for the year at a fixed price. Whatever company does this will make millions of $'s for itself. But then you'd have to get the oil companies (who own the pumps) to buy in to it in some fashion. -Rich |
