Gas prices have just doubled!!!

[Domitan]

In Windsor, Ontario...gas prices have jumped from around $1 a litre ($4 per gallon in Canadian dollars) to $1.99. I'm in London, so there's a mass gastank filling all over the city (2 hours northeast of Windsor). I got it for $0.959 a litre, but tmw it will jump to $1.85.

1. Holy shit

This isn't a bad joke, right? I take it this is reaction to Hurricane Rita? I wonder what my local stations will be selling for tomorrow. I just filled up tonight and it was $2.7* somethin'.

2. Just an hour ago, I contemplated topping off our vehicle...

However, I was sucked into DU...perhaps I should run out.

I may top off on the way home.

5. Expect it to zoom back up

If Rita hits Texas. I filled my tank this afternoon. Gas went up .$15 in the next county this morning. I expect it to keep rising.

6. Whatever TV news my daughter was watching

was showing the oil rigs and refineries in the way of RITA. They are bound to sustain damage and that will mean higher gas price rather it needs to be higher or not.

7. who is calling for FTC investigation?

i heard a bit today on AAR or Jones Radio Net, saying that for prices to be at the current level (today's) oil prices would have to be $90/barrel. Now it's going up?

no doubt, gouging.

9. Strangely, it has jumped in Ontario, but not in Western Canada

Does that mean that Ontario relies more on oil and gas imports from the Gulf States than the western parts of Canada?

10. Sounds like traffic will be up at the tunnel

US oil companies will be glad to see you.

BTW, the US dollar dropped today.
