The unscheduled price adjustment results from the ongoing and rapid escalation in world market prices for refined gasoline products.

not sure if it matters, but the story is about gas prices IN CANADA, not the US.... i dont think this will affect us at all, our prices are already going up, LOL... we'll see $3/gal US again before long.

I just heard a report on Nova M Radio that Exxon is in a buy back program and wants to get gas prices to $50.00 a barrel. The report was out of Europe.

Hold on a second. This article refers to the Island Regulatory Commission. This article is from Prince Edward Island Canada, and appears to apply to one province only. Great article, and thanks for the warning, but does it mean necessarily prices are going up in the US?

Don't you know that spring is almost here. People want to take long rides and of course the oil companies what to make sure they get there just rewards for you riding around. Like I have always said, Profits,Profits,Profits. That is all they care about. It doesn't matter how they #CREW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

I would be HAPPY to pay $2.49. When prices went down the cheapest I paid was $2.40. Last night it was $2.79. I'm guessing that today it will be close to $2.90. THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS! (Northeastern NY)

Any one notice all the Exxon-Mobil commercials lately? Especialy during the prime time evening news.
It is going up here in Fla to. They say a lot of it has to do with the spring fuel change over.....normal BS for hiking the cost.

What happened to the 2.06 a gallon just a few months ago? It has gone up .13 cents in one week here. Wouldn't everybody like to increase their income in the same manner as the oil companies..Just plain WRONG...

Winter weather is now moderating over most of the country & that reduces heating costs. So, the oil companies raise prices to keep their profits up. $.40 a gallon here (S.W. Va.) since the Nov. election.

Monopolies can dictate any price they want. I would be surprised if by midsummer that the price at the pump will be less than $3.69 per gallon.

Last fall the price went up because they said the winter blends were more expensive to produce.Now they say that the summer blends are the more expensive.Big oil has been getting away with this crap for years.Of course it's even easier when you have friends in the highest places.When does thier war on terrorists get to these domestic thieves?

last week it was 2.85 a gallon, as of yesterday it was 3.10, it's horrible to see a five cents raise from the time you see it in the morning to the time you see it comin home.

Ha... try California its already $3.20 for regular unleaded and I'm guessing it is only going to get higher.
