Hello Bob, and other road warriors following along;
I am sorry Bob, I never looked at the CDN dollar and the US Dollar
as you and Ian have pointed out. You are both right, so perhaps
next posting, when they post the nightly rate I can post that
and our price at the pump for regular @ 87 octane.
I do agree with you on profiteering, and tourism, as when they go
home after a weekend Monday morning there is a break as the
price drops and then of course they refill for the weekend and
the price goes up.
For the last few days and into the weekend the price has remained
the same, and BTW I am not the only watch dog here...there are
plenty of others, and even more vocal. I just don't drive when
it hits the highs. If I have too ...then only CDN$ 10.00 whatever
and screw the profiteers.

>>petrol for the beast, was at CDN $ 1.12:5 /litre ... and that is
>>a low for this area.
Still is at this price today ....
