Well on March 5th I drove down to the Heckle in Red Deer and gas cost 82.9 cents a litre. Today a mere 45 days or so later and it's 103.4 cents a litre and expected to jump another 10 cents here any minute. So that puts it up to about $1.15 a litre. How much higher is it going to go?

I know high oil prices technically should be good for Alberta and Canada, and I certainly have the choice to adjust my lifestyle to suit. I mean the price of gas has an impact on me, but not a major impact as I ride the bus to work quite often and intend to ride my bike more often now that the weather is turning the corner.

But lets face it my wages didn't go up 35% in the past two months and somewhere the cost of transporting goods for me to consume is going to be impacted by this. Than factor in that other utlities will go up, and I'm hoping theres a limit. I don't want to be put in a situation where I have to make 150 grand a year just to cover the cost of living.
