Ok sackville seems to be the epicenter of this gas thing so here it goes:
As of right now the following gas stations have the following prices:

Irving - 74.9, 74.9 (2 stations)
Ultramar - 74.9, 74.9 (2 stations)
Wilsons - 74.9
Petro Canada - 74.9, 74.9 (2 stations)
Esso - 74.9, 74.9 (2 stations)

Ok heres the shocker - GAS HAS BEEN AT THIS PRICE FOR WELL BEFORE THE
ATTACK!

Ok some more FACTS:
The canadian refineries and stockpile at ANY given time has approximately
1 - 2 month supply - this means EVEN if oil went up - it would take at LEAST
a month to trickle down to the gas stations.

Afghanistan produces 0%  of the worlds oil supply
Terrorists produce 0% of the worlds oil supply

95% of oil is produced in countries that are USA friendly

Ok so lets recap shall weeeee....
No, oil isnt going up (certainly not as much as has been stated)
No, Gas prices in Sackville have NOT increased - nor are they likely

Why gas stations WONT raise their prices - simply put if they do then the
government will step in and regulate them - the province was only
"considering" regulation when the prices shot up to 80 a while back - and
within 2 days the prices had dropped to 69-76 where its been hovering ever
since.

Ok - now to the people posting this "CRAP"
- You are in direct violation of your ISP's Terms of usage and if people
wanted to report you they could just find your email in the message headers
(or the posting host) and report them to their respective ISP... If you cant
find the term its under the one that basically refers to spreading false
rumours, fear mongering, and a few others specific to certain ISP's

Now to the people that beleive this "CRAP" - dont - call the gas stations
(any attendent that tells you its going up to $1.00/litre - get their names
and get em fired... only managers can change prices and theyre all home in
bed for the most part  :-)

Now - yall have a nice evening now
