I don't disagree with the logic, but as someone else pointed out and as we
saw this summer, the gas companies will use any excuse to push up prices.
The way I heard of it was at the local stockcar track because most of the
guys had to wait in long lineups to fill the cars.  I then came home and my
mother said she had heard it on the news and a friend had called to tell her
about it.  Not one to tell my mother she is full of crap, I thought back to
earlier in the summer to news reports that gas could very well hit $1 per
litre and I just figured that the companies were finally going to make the
big money grab.  I would imagine there were others thinking the same way.

As for sitting in line, I can't see it.  I know of people who go to the
indian stations because they save 2 cents per litre.  I see them lined up
there all the time but when you consider, such as in my case, I would only
save about $1.20 per fillup and it would cost me $3 to get there, it "ain't"
worth it.  Of course I had filled up Saturday, so I wasn't worried.

It is unfortunate that the oil companies have us so well programmed to
expect sudden large jumps in prices that we react to every rumor.  They
probably started the rumor to increase sales figures for the month.
