Hey Guys:

This is a link I came across - http://www.mcteague.ca/WebPages/gas_price_today.htm . I donno how accurate this is, but may be helpful w.r.t gas price projection.

Regards!

Thanks guys for both the links.
One interesting point is that when Gas prices were 110 and 111 in Toronto (for the past 5 days) and when it was 108 to 110 for the past 3 weeks, in Kitchener/ Waterloo the no name gas stations (like GTO, MAC etc..) were dispensing Gas for 103.9 cents for the past 3 week. I took advantage of those prices and when you spend around $600 a month on just gas alone, it makes a lot of difference.
Incidentally, I asked the woman at a GTO Gas bar in Kitchener / Waterloo as to when the prices would be at par with Toronto , she told me next month.. But as I drove by today in the morning, the Gas prices were 112.4 and I could see a gas tanker suppling its load of gas to the Gas station.
I previously thought that since the GTA sold a ton of Gas eachday, prices would be lower in the GTA than the suburban cities since the Suburban cities could not sell much. However looks like it is not the case. You still tend to get cheap deals outside the GTA for Gas.
How do CD's tend to fill up their Gas tanks when the prices is over 110 cents. Any Desi ideas of saving money in this regard? Are Toronto Gas prices still being sold for a discount during the night time?
Comments appriciated?

No TK,
Those days were gone..I live right infront of 2 GAS stations, and i dont see them reducing in the night time.
The only alternative is to invest in oil stocks so that u can make some money

Take a relief in knowing that here in BC we pay about 120.

Last week I bought a bike and cycling 10kms each way to work! It's fun actually - except that my butt is complaining abt the seats here. Man, the Indian cycle seats are so much more wider!

I have found very cheap Gas stations in the Kitchener area dispensing Gas for 103.7 even yesterday night. Apparently it looks like many Gas stations in the region dispense Gas at very low prices. I saw a petro Canada dispensing Gas for 104.1
So in case any one of you travelling around this region / staying at this region wants to know these Gas station locations, please PM me.
