It appears that it isn’t just the temperatures rising in the Sault heading into the long Victoria Day weekend, gas prices are heading up too.
At least two gas brands shot their prices up by 5 cents Tuesday morning to $1.11.9 a litre up from $1.06.9 yesterday. Esso stations and Shell stations locally were first to up the prices at the pumps. As of the noon hour, the Shell at Great Northern Road and Second Line and Petro Canada stations were still at $1.06.9
The increase of course is being blamed on the price of a barrel of oil rising to its highest level in 7 months on world markets Monday. Unexpected supply disruptions in places like Canada, Nigeria and Venezuela have caused oil prices to hit their highest level in seven months last night, at $48.41 per barrel. Supply and demand also works into the factor with more people driving during long weekend holidays.
BOYCOTT any and all ESSO stations, forever.
Stop buying from Esso. They run the monopoly up here. If they can’t sell there gas they have to drop it. Petro Can or Shell come on people.
Well I am usually one to bitch about the high prices but if it help the Tennaris people get back to work then it’s worth every penny it goes up.
it happens every long weekend or holiday then they cry poor their not making any money
They’re trying to profit on a holiday …smart CROOKS
McGouger fuels gouges us far too much already, this is outrageous, it drives more business to the US side where fuel is only $2.28 per gallon and substantial savings can be had.
While you are there stop at Walmart, 15 Coors Light is $9.98 compared to $29.50 here,
We are lucky to be a border city to escape this continual gouging.
