(65 posts)No top ten percenter on the income pyramid climate and environmental activist has stepped in and said. "Good, I hate Trump but gas and oil prices need to be high so people drive less and stop ruining the environment." lol Probably a bit of truth there but it certainly is no consolation for people struggling with inflation on everything.

(114,429 posts)While the increases are seemingly jumping like a digital counter, what infuriates me is some of that incredible variation is from the same stations (or grocery store locations)--just within a few miles of each other. WTF justifies THAT?
Yes, I have a hybrid Prius, but it still bites.

(6,533 posts)Per litre (which is $4.92 USD per US gallon). And that in a province that exports most of what it produces...
I do not complain however - things that reduce fossil fuel consumption aren't all bad.
