A Loonie a Litre North of the Border

I see that our friends in Tim Horton Land are also suffering gas price pangs.

Average retail in Canada at 98.9 and soon to hit that magic "Loonie a Litre"

the Loonie being the dollar coin. Many Canadian Analysts infer that the price

rise is about to peak as gas supplies are up over a year ago. go figure.

Hope diesel goes down as its now 2.53 a gallon...

to make matters worse, there is a pending transport strike in Toronto (TTC). As a result, there will be more cars on the road, and the combination of more cars and longer travel times due to increased traffic is a double-whammy.

one upside of higher gas prices is that those used E420's will now be more affordable ...
