| Re: another reason for gas price jump you know its funny, im in the freight forwarding business and i can say oil comps/truckers/airlines/steamlines are all in on this price gouging. Our fuel surcharge on most airlines is now 80 cents per kilo. A yr ago it was 65 cents, summer time it was 70 cents. Now here in the winter time, if i recall correctly petroleum was all time high in the summer, and is pretty low this winter, why are prices continuing to rise? Truckers have also raised their prices from 25% to now 28%. You never see these companies drop their fuel surcharge when petroleum drops, i've never experienced once any airline, steamline, or trucker "go back" to their old surcharge price.   (thanks blake!) |

| Re: another reason for gas price jump And the burn continues...paying about CAN$1.039/liter here (Not looking forward to more expensive gas prices as taxi fares will increase  ; already costs $25 for a 15 minute ride home, back in summer cost only $20!). How does that compare to places elsewhere  |

| Colonel Calamity | Re: another reason for gas price jump by comparison, gas locally for me is US$0.816 per liter or $3.09 per US gallon... or $1 USD = $1.011 CAD so.... 1.039CAD = 1.0276USD... so that is equivalent to US$3.89 per gallon that you are paying.... heh sucks to be you, hate to see the equivalent that Europeans pay Thanks HL and Corsair!
