Nanaimo Gas Prices Jump As Gas Guys Gouge Again/Still

Nanaimo Drivers Getting Hosed 
At Pumps All Summer

It must be because everyone knows that Canadians don't get excited about too much most of the time, and in the summertime we are pretty much comatose. Especially here on beautiful Vancouver Island when the blue skies roll in and the temperature soars, who cares about much of anything?

All summer we have been paying more than our friends in the east (nothing unusual about that) and as usual Nanaimo drivers are almost always paying more than Duncan drivers. But, hey, who really cares anyway? It is only money, and we in Nanaimo have lots of it to throw around so what is another ten or fifteen cents a litre for gas? Chump change!

Well, it would seem that the gougers in the petrol business have noticed that no one in Nanaimo has noticed the shaft all summer long, so why not add a few more pennies a bit ahead of Labour Day. And so they have, and once again Nanaimo residents display their desire to spread their wealth around realizing that those poor oil company execs might not be able to take home those multi-million dollar bonuses if we don't throw some more into the pot.

They also realize that no one in government makes any noise about the gas pump gouging as every increase at the pumps, puts more money into the tax pot, and we all know how wisely that is being spent these days.
