I've said every year that I don't care until it hits $5 a gallon. Once it hits $5.01 I'm whipping out my "I remember paying bout a buck a gallon to fill my first car up" card.

May even shake a stick at random passerby

Correction: Overnight, gas prices in Toronto went to $1.21/L. That's $4.59/US Gal. With our dollar essentially at parity with yours, someone would have a very difficult time explaining to me why we pay so much more than you do, especially given that you get a hell of a lot of our oil. Now add in that it takes roughly 3 months before the price at the wellhead effects the price at the pumps...

They're paying $4.78/US Gal in Montreal, right now.

Yes, we pay more tax on gasoline than you do, but the majority of the taxes are fixed by unit volume. A 10% increase in prices, over the course of a few days, CANNOT be written off to taxes.

You realize that oil is up 15% since a week ago, right?

You realize that oil doesn't hit the market for 3 months, right?
