It started because some station in Chatham put the price at $1.75 and that just fuelled a run all day long on gas. Price didn't go up, but all day long and into the evening gas station had HUGE lines because people though gas MIGHT go up (rumour, hearsay).
A quick calculation by me says that if was were to rise by a $0.25, it would only cost $12.50 more for a full tank of gas (based on 50L -- which for most people is a full tank or close to it). Now for people like tow trucks, public transit, cabbies, that's a big deal at the rate they go through fuel. But for the average driver, it's really insignificant. A lot of station actually ran out of fuel last night.
Today when I went out, price was still the same (around $1.03/$1.04 per Litre) yet there were no lineups
Dumb people, I want off this planet. Really I do.
