Default Gas price jump?
Long weekend coming up, and I just heard a rumour that gas prices are about to jump. Has anyone seen any really bad gas prices today? (The rumour said $1.20, which I take with a grain of salt, but it that turns out to be legit....)

I just drove by my local esso (NW) on route to co-op and let out a big WTF when I saw $104.5! The sign at Co-op still listed 99.9 and there was a fair sized line up there waiting.

This is crap, long weekend and the prices go up again. I can see $1.25 by the summer time. I filled up tonight for .95/L, it should be over a buck there by tomorrow.
