I realize it's not in the governments best interest to do anything about these flagrant price fluctuations without justification. But when price gouging is this obvious should there not be safeguards in place for consumers? Who to hell is responsible for watchdoging this gas and oil industry as they continue to manipulate prices at there whimsy? I know we are used to modest fluctuations in prices at the pumps but 20 cents a litre is criminal in my opinion. eman

reminds me of "Jesus Saves" bumper stickers....with gas @ $1.40 I doubt that will be the case this Easter!

Yup good old price gouging right before a holiday, happens every year on almost all long weekends or holidays. I love when they interview some gas price consultant or whoever and they make up some bs about supply and demand hahaha what a crock. Just once id like to hear "we raise the price because we want to gouge everyone who decides to drive on the holiday". Nobody in government will ever do anything about it because they just rake in more money. That's the bc libs for ya!

$1.39 Costco, 1.47 everywhere else till 5pm.... That's when Superstore and Cheveron match Costco overnight.
