The thing that pisses me off, is that the minute there's a threat to supply - gas prices jump immediately. But when the price of oil drops, as it was until this latest spick gas prices don't drop by an equivalent amount. The Gas companies claim it's because the Gas is made from Oil bought 6 months previously so it takes awhile for the price reduction in oil to trickle down. This is a load of crap. If it were true, we'd see delays in increases when the price of oil goes up. I'm convinced it's simply price gouging on the part of the gas companies.

And gas is even more expensive in Canada - it went up overnight by over 10 cents a liter. So it's now 1.36 / liter making it about 5.44 a gallon.

It's ridiculous.
