The price of gas is up by 1.7 cents in Zone 2 this morning. This raise in price is explained by the extra two percent our Provincial Liars added on to the HST. Tomorrow?? According to the CBC, the price should drop by 0.5 cents, on the weekly re-adjustment of the price fixers. We'll see...

C-H predicts Up 2.9 cents. CBC dithered something about the oil gusher in the Gulf making it difficult to predict prices, so they didn't.

The darts have been thrown - CBC's landed on Up 1.5 cents, while C-H's landed on Up 3.0 cents. My advice (Worth what you paid for it) is to fill up today.

And, the price fixers, using the same formula as CBC and C-H use, have come up with a drop in price of 1.9 cents in Zone 2. Must be an interesting formula!
