Just filled last night $4.00 a gallon. These prices are really going to put a choker on the "recovery"

Here is how to check a pump to see if you are getting the right amount:

Whichever grade you are using, put EXACTLY 10 LITERS in your tank, then look at the dollar amount. If the dollar amount is not EXACTLY 10 times the price of the fuel you have chosen, then the pumps are rigged.

In my case, as I said, the mid-grade was $0.885 per liter; my dollar amount for 10 liters should have been $8.85 . I wish I had checked the pump. It doesn't matter where you pump gas, please check the 10 liter price. If you do find a station that is cheating, contact the MTO, and direct your comments to the Commissioner, the info is on the gas pumps.

Please don't delete this until you have sent it to all people in your address book. We need to put a stop to this outrageous cheating of customers. The gas companies are making enough profits at honest rates.

We don't speak metric here.
Plus "weights and measures" won't nail them to the wall if they get caught doing that.

They dropped gas by s for three days last week only to raise it by 6 cents yesterday. From 3.499 down to 3.479 and up to 3.539 yesterday. This ain't the 'Life of Riley'.

I wonder if you can take out a loan to buy gas? I've got gas but no way to save enough to burn it in the GTO.... Gotta find a way to save all that methane.
