cherryLivejournal claims that skip=60 puts me back to Thursday on my friendslist.
There is obviously something wrong with this picture. Anyone here do anything interesting this weekend? *G*
So, the price of gas.
Wednesday was 93.9 cents/litre. Thursday jumped to 99.9, which is where I filled my car at. By the time I left for Saskatoon on Friday, it was up to 105.9.
It's really not the gas stations' fault, because they don't make a profit on fuel. My family own a gas station, I know this -- if it weren't for confection sales, we wouldn't be keeping our heads above water.
105.9. Most of the gas stations I drove by didn't even have the price up, because they didn't have enough slots for the numbers.
You know it's bad when things are operating on a "If you need to ask, you can't afford to pay" basis.

Re: 1.32
Date: 2005-08-24 06:36 pm (UTC)The thing about gas dumps is that the oil companies adjust it backwards. When we get a dump of fuel, the next one is adjusted to what our selling price has been. I can't state that that's how it works up there, but it's what Shell does to us. Stations really do make only about a 2% profit.
I'm so looking forward to my lovely bus. Bet you they jacked the pass prices way up, though.
