WTF!!! Gas Going Up 13 Cents Overnight

DigitalZ · 09-11-2008, 07:49 PM

Just saw it on Global News and Dan McTeague's website is confirming. The price of oil has fallen to near $100 territory and they pull this!

Wow, that is damm craziness

Isn't it simply amazing that McTeague always knows what's going on before it happens?

He's got an inside line, and is just reporting the SCAM before it happens.

Petroleum competition in a free market?

Oh sure, my post beats you by a minute and everyone responds to yours!

Every station in town is 3-5 deep so the word is getting out. 5 vehicles filled, 150 litres later, $20 bucks saved!

they're lined up out on the road right now at the station across from our fire station.

and I need to sneak over and top up the vette.

How can that be when the price of oil drops to almost below $100

That's just BS

That's their excuse, but how can they honestly say that they need to raise the price right now when the price of oil hasn't gone up, but instead it's gone down! So it's not costing them more to make the gasoline right now.

They'll use any excuse to raise the price, but truth be told, the REASON they are raising the price is nothing more than pure greed. The oil companies are scumbags that are being allowed to get away with robbing us blind, pure and simple. The government will never step in to do a damn thing though, because they too are reaping the benefits, with higher prices come higher taxes that go into their greedy pockets too. So we all lose.

Besides, I still don't see why this latest hurricane is causing them to panic, the last one went through there and barely disrupted production, and they didn't raise the prices. So what makes this one different that is causing them to raise the price before they even see how it affects production??

While it does suck, it won't stop me from cruising.

sami85L98 · 09-11-2008, 11:59 PM

Damn it thats why i had to wait in line i said WTF too, and had to missed cruise buddies.

MotorHead · 09-12-2008, 12:14 AM

THey don't even wait for the hurricane now they jack the price up before, boy are they getting good at it, kudos to them. I hope they realize that everything they buy costs more now too as a result of their greed. I can't wait to do an estimate on an oil company execs. home !

$80 in the vette and $130 in the Durango. Would be nice if my paycheck went up just as fast.

Oil Companies = Legal Crooks...
Remember the top dog of Exxon retired with $200+ million bonus last year?
The last time I checked, Ike wasn't blowing throught Oakville where the Petro Canada Refinery locates?? That's where most of us gets our gas from - Petro Canada/Esso/Shell/Pioneer..

LOVE it! Like every car it's got it's up and downs, but as long as the ups make you forget about the downs it's all good! The new one is badass too.
