It was nice while it lasted. For a week gas prices fell below a buck in Sault Ste. Marie but today it ends.
Prices started to go at noon today. McDougall Fuels was first out of the gate jacking prices up by 7 cents in a matter of seconds. Some local stations are still posting the 99.9 . litre as of noon today but those prices are expected to jump in a day or two.
Sault Ste. Marie prices have been stable for months at the 103.9 price (much more than other municipalities in the north) Prices started to drop last week to 99.9 litre, a welcome relief at the pumps. Today however, as oil bounced back to over $40 U.S. a barrel, the immediate effects are felt locally.
Shell and Petro Canada prices remain at the 99.9 range as of noon Tuesday.
The instant a barrel of crude goes up the price at the pumps go up. Funny how when crude nose dives it takes weeks if not months for a modest decrease in pump prices.
There is no justifiable or logical reason why the price rose 10 percent. They do it…. because they can.
It’s a shame, that McDougall is such a gouging business owner. You can tell he doesn’t care about his community by jacking up the gas prices before they’ve even gone up, and NOT to bring them down for months after the barrel drops. So DISGUSTING. Maybe a local boycott should start, to teach these pocket lining businesses that we aren’t going to take it anymore!
It just went down to 99.9 again 🙁 Seriously. The cost in the tanks is already paid for – that did not go up! Just saying.
I call BULLSHIT on all this up and down bs!’ Enough is enough now!!
Soo Michigan, $1.82 per gallon.
Thankfully it is only a short drive away from the gougers.
McGouger fuels needs a new mansion and an extended tropical vacation don’t ya know!
Sad was the day that all the smaller Mom and Pop businesses got steamrolled into a gouging monopoly.
just passed the shell on korah rd. and its 106.9, but down second line at the canadian tire gas bar it is still 99.9
It pisses me off that when oil prices per barrel drop, it takes forever for fuel pump prices to dip….the rationale given is that they paid for higher priced gas so until that is used up they can’t drop prices BUT when the price per barrel for oil goes up, the hike at the pumps is almost immediate….shouldn’t we be paying the lower price until the lower price gas the companies paid for is used up???? Grrrrrrrrr!!
They are steeling from us. This needs to stop.
