So, oil shoots to $69 barrel, prices of gas hit $1.27/L.
Then, oil falls to $57 barrel, prices of gas drop to $0.83/L.
So far, so good.
That was over a few months..
Recently, the price (with oil going from $57 to $60/b) went up to
$0.99/L.
Now, oil has hit $64/b and gasoline is down to $0.93/L.
Graph this and it looks pretty odd.  We're better off by far than when
it was $1.27/L during
the last phony "scare" but prices have not yet settled down.

As was pointed out here on a news feed... After Katrina, gas went
through the roof, but it cam e back down a ways, especially when there
were questions of gauging and government investigations. But, the
government involvement was short lived, and as soon as the heat was
off, the prices began to rise, even though there was more available
and the per barrel price had dropped. Now the barrel price rises and
the pump prices are going up as well... coincidence? or X Files?

Sell your f.cking car,,,, buy a horse, take a cab, ride the bus... do
something but quit bitching at us about your Goddamned gas prices. We can't
change your pump price but that's nearly all you ever f.cking talk about....
If you want to bitch at someone, e-mail PetroCan - bitch at Esso - tell
Husky about your woes. BUT... For Gods sake, leave us out of it.....

I live on top of the stuff you eastern a.sholes are stealing from the west
and I am paying too much for it, too. Like everyone else in Canada (except
for some f.cking a.shole in Hogtown), I pull up to the pump, fill the thing
and grit my teeth. If you can't deal with the price gouging, don't buy
gasoline. You can always write your MP and your MLA..... but it's not like
oil companies don't make some handsome political contributions...

Where were you and your mouth in the sponsorship scandal.... where are you
and your mouth now, with the rest of the sh.t that's going down..... I'll
bet you and your sorry a.s are going to vote Liberal AGAIN, right?

ESAD, Richie

    I think you'd better get back on your Ritalin there Jimmy-boy. I was
born here too and I think its high time you 'the east fscked us with the
NEP' whinging  w.nkers stop your w.nking whinging. w.nker. And for you
dumb f**kers south of the border, I did correctly spell it 'whinging'
not 'whining'. And oh, its 'aluminium', not 'aluminum'. Morons.

Holy sh.t!!! He has a vocabulary!!!!

So... are you typing with one hand or have you let go of Rich's digit and
are now using both....

You live in Canada.... it's not "aluminium" any more than it is "tyre",
"gaol" or "whinging". I doubt you use terms like "bonnet and "boot" so you
could probably stop being pretentious.

For you dumb f.ckers in Ontario.... if it wasn't for the west, you and them
frogs would be f.cking each other over.....

    How about 'w.nker'? Or 'tosser'? Both seem to suitably describe you
well enough.

It's probably because of all the oil they use to make plastic camera bodies.
