Screwed AGAIN!

Gas stations across the GTA are showing prices of close to $1.12 a litre, representing an overnight bump of nearly three cents a litre.
The jump could be due to lower than expected gasoline supplies reported by the U.S. on Wednesday. Oil closed at $104.83 a barrel, an increase of $3.85. That rise translated into the jump at the pumps a day later. It's the second increase this week - on Monday prices were sitting at about $1.05 a litre, rising to $1.08 a litre on Wednesday.
One has a theory that the reason for the current high prices is "because summer is coming so they're gradually going up slowly so when summer hits, nobody is going to complain too much."
As always Liberal MP and gas industry watchdog Dan McTeague predicted this latest increase, putting gas prices as high as they've been in nearly three years.
The last time drivers were paying this much for a fill-up was following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when gas reached an astonishing $1.286 a litre in the GTA.


I'm calling bullshit! The oil company's are laughing all the way to the bank with the hard earned cash from our wallets and they will will use any excuse they can come up with to stick it to the little guy. Make up whatever you want, its all bullshit in the end.
