It would seem that the price rose by 2.9 cents in Zone 2. Web page still hasn't been updated, but my local stations have all raised their prices, so I guess it is a Christmas gift for "Big Oil".

Back to the dart board. After agreeing for a week or two, the C-H dart says we will pay one cent less after midnight tonight, while the CBC dart landed on 'no change'.
Both claim to be using the same formula as the URB. Really?

Berwickians are being hosed again./ PetroCan and Needs once again bumped their prices to the max. Typically, they will stay there for two or three days, then align with the price charged in the nearby areas.
Shows a great deal of respect for their customers. NOT.

Poor Berwick. Their gas prices rose to the maximum last night. So, instead of 'no change' Berwick finds itself in an "Up 1.7 cents" situation. It'll probably drop back sometime next week.

I think MadChemist has hit the 'nail on the head' with the URB's method of setting prices!
