Kip Powick Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Weekend coming...Gas just went from 79.5 to 85.1 here in Smallville. Ya think Martin called all the stations and advised them that the libs blew their budget with all the "tax breaks" etc., and need more tax $$ from Joe Citizen...via the gas pumps.

Canus Chinookus Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 81.9 in airdrie and north calgary the last few days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatSlave Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 109.9 in YZF. Our gas prices may sound like FM radio frequencies... but we still like to call it home. A little more snow and I'll have the sled on the road. (Literally, on the road. Being the north, it's even legal.) Fill ups should be cheaper then. My sled is, as a rule, less expensive to run than the truck... just so long as I remember to NOT ride like a Dene warrior . I miss the KnarlyDavidson already ...and it's only been a month or so. We won't talk about boating. My therapist says I'm not ready. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conehead Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 84 cents here in Barrie. Reports from the GTA of 78 cents.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHI Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 For the past week or so there has been a "morning" price and an "evening price in Richmond and the South Vancouver area. Mornings 97.x - 99.x (minus 3.5 cents/litre) Evenings 93.x - 96.x (minus 3.5 cents/litre) Those are the posted signs at the street. The pump price is reduced by 3.5 cents to compete with the SuperStore and other retailers who also pump gas and give coupons for 3.5 cents/liter for in store purchases. In addition, Mowhawk & Husky sell their 94 octane gas at the 90 octane price. I asked & was told that because some of their stations no longer sell the 94 octane, and in future all Mowhawk/Husky stations will discontinue the 94 octane, they charge the 90 octane price for all their 94 octane fuel. If you check the URL below, you'll note the trend of "morning" and "evening" prices. Gas Prices Richmond BC Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check Pilot Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Around .80 here in YXD. And Kev your therapist is right on. DON"T get into boating, unless you want to become the same as small airline owner. Start with 2 million and lose 1 million. Then start all that fun over again with a newer bigger boat.

Then start all that fun over again with a newer bigger boat. Check Pilot Too late...got the T-shirt...still doing it. I love all of my toys but the boat is where I'm truly content. I said content...not necessarily comfortable. (Insert sound of puking child in cuddycabin...a noise produced by the less-than-seaworthy that goes largely ignored by Skipper due to sound of large waves breaking over the bow, accompanied by the uncut version of Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. Investigation of puking noises subsequently delegated to First Mate ) To get back to the fuel price thread, the old WindWalker was very labouriously (by yours truly) repowered this spring with a 1.7 L, 120hp Cummins diesel. She now burns 3 gph at 15kts. There isn't a boat of it's type on Great Slave Lake that can touch that. Too bad that diesel is currently 104.9 .

Ex 9A Guy Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I just filled up my gas guzzling truck at a Safeway in SW Calgary this evening and was pleasantly surprised by the price $0.78/litre for premium that included a 7 cent/litre discount for Safeway card holders. The price for regular with the discount was $0.71/litre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaEH Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hurricanes in summer damage refineries... Snow storms in winter increase demand... and holidays are prime targets for a little gouging here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IFG Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Smallville just dropped from the weekend high of 85.1 to 81.9...but hey...there is no price fixin' out here .... or in the airline industry - air travellers would never stand for higher pricing around periods of greater demand ...
