Gas To Go
Gas prices took a big jump this week in Nova Scotia, something that everyone seems to take for granted now with hardly a complaint. At one time if the price went up a couple cents per litre there was an outcry like you wouldn't believe. Now days it goes up five to eight cents and no one blinks.
"Can't do anything about it!" "That's what they said." "Be $1.50 a litre by summer." These are an example of the every day comments that are heard each time the price takes a huge jump.
There are lots of things people could do, but nobody will. For example, last summer some groups tried to get people to not buy gas for one day. Hardly anyone would do that. Another tried to get people to avoid one particular brand for a week, then rotate the following week. Nobody would do that either.
So the high prices will continue. By summer those drops falling off the end of the nozzle as you use self serve will be quarters(25 cents).
And for those of you that bought vehicles with diesel engines, isn't it funny how all of a sudden diesel costs more than gas.
