Oil folks have been sticking it to us... for wayyyyyy toooo longggggg :( long live hybrid electrics, corn-oil/bio-fuels, hydrogen and solar - these are the future..., i'm furious and we need to stop "taking it", caving in.., wilting to oil rich whims.. Canadians tend to be fairly complacent and conservative people... populace wise.. we don't have the power that the U.S.A. does -we are 1/10th their population.. but there is nooo way.. NO REASON.. why A U.S. Gallon of Gas (3.84 Litres) in Ontario Canada is....$ 4.61 yet the same Gallon in Virginia Beach is.. $ 3.27 ! Who Is Getting Gouged? Canadians got a 9 cent a litre JACKING of Price.. this week.. in one gulp.. 40 or 50 litres to fill a tank.. thats $5.00 more per fill! ...cause we measure and sell in litres (which are smaller units) the oil companies think they can hood wink us.. by.. slipping in a nickle here a nickel there.. we won't complain. :( I bet if Citgo... or Shell USA, or Sunoco USA tried to jack pump prices up $0.345 (34.5 cents a gallon) - in one SWOOOP ..ding..dingg goes the pump.. - YOU AMERICANS would haul the gas jockey and gas bar owner into the streets - pour gas on them .. and torch them for being greedy and stupid.. - (im not encouraging violence)... but YOU FOLKS know you have a voice.. and you protest / voice your opinions and exercise your power when people try to put the screws to you ) ...not here in Canada :( we are tooo meek :(

hoppy1313 Rookie Author St. Louis Posts:10 Points:7,005 Joined:Mar 2008	Message Posted: Apr 19, 2008 6:36:43 AM Ignore hoppy1313 Report Abuse Does it really matter? All the costs are going to be passed to the consumer. For at least 3 years now the big oil companies have turned in tens of billions of dollars profit quarterly and they don't see a problem with that. It affects everything. Food prices are going up because of transportation costs. Airlines are raising prices because of fuel. Even our garbage collection has a fuel surcharge on it, which was about 16% on the last monthly statement. We've all heard commercials where retired people on fixed incomes sometimes have to choose between food and medicine. I'm sure there are people out there who now must choose between food or gas to be able to get to work. Like I said above, the price will be passed on to the consumer. Off my soapbox now...
