| Gas Prices In The Rise AGAIN!
http://finance.sympatico.ca/Home/Con...=abc&date=True Winter blast sends oil prices back to 2008 levels; gasoline prices also climbing
06/01/2010 1:35:00 PM
Mark Williams, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Snow, ice and wind wreaked havoc on energy markets Wednesday, where a barrel of oil topped US$83 a barrel for the first time since the fall of 2008. Natural gas futures soared six per cent.
112.5 this morning in surrey... fuck....
EDIT. Yes I know the topic should be "Gas Prices On The Rise AGAIN!", my bad  |

My equity funds/stocks are up. I don't mind paying $200/yr more for gas if my investment portfolio returns $10K.

This should be the least of your concerns. Pray to wutever God u believe in that the OPEC keep using USD for oil prices. If they ever switch to something else, good luck finding gas @ 1.10/L. We'll be paying Europe prices.

Daily gas prices fluctuate during rush hours.. It is a given. I think the intra day range is about +/- 5 cents.
Since borders are open 24 hours, just go down and fill up with gas.

when oil prices raise overnight, gas prices immediately raise overnight
when oil prices fall - it takes weeks for the gas prices to drop
bullshit
