Gas Gambling
Yeah yeah I know…. Its been a while but I’m a busy guy. I’ve been thinking about something that’s on the minds of most people these days: gas prices. Its really quite a strange thing… the more I think about it, the more buying gas seems to have become a form of gambling. Gas prices gradually go down and down until they reach a certain point. As its going down you have to guess how low you want to go before you buy gas, because at any given point the price could jump anywhere from 10 cents to 30 cents (this is in Canada for those of you who don’t know). I feel like I’m on a game of The Price is Right or something. I also don’t understand how gas in our area right now is about 75 cents per liter while in the Toronto area its 15 cents more expensive. Why is our area so special right now? Not that I’m complaining, but I’d still like to know.

I like you much better than gasoline. But your comments are really valid, I've been feeling the same way. It's like the whole gas prices thing has become a game where the oil companies see how high the prices can be while making us think we're getting a deal based on previous prices and stuff. Sad.
Yeah I remember a few weeks ago when I saw gas go below a dollar a litre and I thought "wow! what a deal!". Then it goes down to 75 cents last week and I feel kinda stupid lol
FYI, in this city, your best "bet" so to speak is to get gas on Monday nights. It almost always goes up on Tuesdays.
