NANAIMO GAS PRICES JUMP AGAIN

Nanaimo Gas Prices
Inch Toward $1.25

Once again Nanaimo seems to get the shaft when it comes to gas prices. This is not new and every time it happens everyone makes a noise, the prices go down a little and then everyone goes back to sleep.
The politicians say something should be done, the motoring public says something should be done, and the oil companies just keep on doing it!
Why can you pump gas in Toronto for 105.9, in Calgary for 106.9 and in Abbotsford for 109.9 while Nanaimo now is paying 122.9?
Duncan is still sitting at 115.9 and Comox is at the same. So why do the drivers in the Nanaimo area get such special treatment?
I think it is because we simply don't make enough noise about it.
Perhaps someone should organize a boycott of some kind and see if that doesn't bring some pressure to bear to lower the prices.
Remember the oil companies are ONLY interested in making as much money as they possibly can, and as long as they all increase their prices at the same time there is no true competition in the market place.
The answer? Buy oil stocks and a bicycle!
