Well, here it is a new month and a new high price at the pumps!

Regular: $106.4

I did not look at the 2 premium grades but if tradition holds, they will be 3 and 6 cents more per litre respectively.

Only 3 and 6 cents more for premium? Here the difference is more like 6 and 12 cents for 89 and 91. The 94 at Chevron is about 15-16 cents more.

It makes me somewhat glad I'm in Ontario. Gas is still under a buck a litre here. For how much longer I don't know. My next car is going to be a hybrid. I know that much.

It looks like they're having a price war in South Calgary. Gas is 94.5 all over the city, 89.2 in my area. What's more, I got some 7 cent coupons for Domo, yesterday I paid 82.2!

Lastnight I thought I would fill up before the weekend plus the tank was down to the 1/4 mark. Paid 83.2 at Loblaws (Vic Park/Gerrard) and there must have been 40 cars there at the same time thinking the same thing.

The Thursday before the long weekend I filled up at Esso for 81.9. Glad I did. The next day the prices were .15 more per litre.

Perhaps Snowy, perhaps... but yesterday was the first time I saw the dollars and cents digits going up faster than the litres digits on the pump. Filling a 4 cyl. car's gas tank shouldn't cost considerably more than $50! I remember when filling my parents' Suburban was expensive to fill at that amount!

I paid $1.06 for premium :-(

Locally, regular unleaded just went up from 96.9 to 102.9. :-(

The radio even mentioned that there were fistcuffs as a result of the 6 cent increase.

Get used to it, guys. It's here for the long pull. Still cheaper than bottled water per litre.

I don't know, von_kran.....that's more of a,"I'm really pissed off with you and I'll scratch your eyes out while you're sleeping" look.

London is currently 94.5 a litre for reg and about .10 more for premium. I can't think of any good reason other then greed by the Gov and the Oil people.

Early evening yesterday price of regular gas in Chatham, Ont was around 91 cents/L and within a couple hours went up to anywhere from 97.5 to 97.9 - the highest I can say I recall gas being here.
An hour west of here, in Windsor, you can still gas up at around 83 cents/L (glad I filled up when there last week!!).

My buddy at work has a Civic with a j-spec H22 engine in it. He has to run higher octane, so he puts in 94 from Petro-Canada..He paid 1 18.9!!!

Petro Canada 94

? have not seen that in TO.

I had to buy in the morning the other day 104.9 for premium, if I could have waited 'til evening at the same place it would have been 99.9 .

Richmond at Parliament just as all the commuters come off the DVP in the morning but very little evening trade ... you make your money while you can!
