Ok, this must really be GMMFG, since this is is my first post in this or it's predecessor's thread. Gas prices. 120.9 and it's been that price solid for the last 2 weeks. I felt ok when it first went up as I had over 3/4 tank. I've waited it out about as long as possible and am now close to touching red line. I get pretty good mileage and don't really drive a whole lot, which has helped, but good Lord. I really didn't expect it to stay this high for this long.

I usually fill up when I'm half full or quarter at the least. I know it's a dream, but if most were in the same situation as me, being at least half full and wait as long as possible when prices go up to refill, maybe they would lower their ####### prices and stop gouging. Now I have to fill up or at least put $20 in, and wait it out a bit longer with that.

Since I don't drive a tonne, I'll probably just fill up, but even though it doesn't amount to a whole lot of dough, it would irk me to fill the tank and then see the price drop shortly after. It shot up from 111.9 to 120.9. Grrrr....

I've been the recipient of chain emails to only gas up at one station, but that never seems to work. I really thought the price would drop after a few days, as this is the highest it's ever been here. It amounts to paying an extra 6 or 7 dollars on a fill, which isn't the end of the world, but I've also cut down on driving thanks to the spike. I'm sure it'll go down later this spring when it warms up. Otherwise, I'm biking to work. Would do me some good anyways. What are the prices at in Calgary?
