With gas prices constantly rising province
of Ontario has finally surpassed $1.00 per
litre this weekend. Places like Thunder Bay
averaging $1.10 per litre, Toronto at around
$1.05 per litre might not bad that bad if you
compare it with the rest of the world
(see chart below). Note that United Kingdom
has already been averaging $1.50/L for quite
some time now (same for Denmark, Belgium,
Germany, Norway and Netherlands already
at $1.70/L).

So where (or when) will this end? Analysts
say that it is supposed to "level off" or even
drop by the end of the summer (highly unlikable).
With our Government getting their 39 % of
the gas pie why would anyone even think of
slowing down the gas price hike. Bottom line
is that the more we pay - more cash flows
to our government.

And for those who drive for a living, higher
gas prices mean less income for them and
their families. Taxi drivers and truck drivers
will have to pay a lot more to keep their
vehicles rolling.

What can we do for the time being? Rethink
our daily driving, lower usage of our cars and
start thinking of using public transportation.
Small 4 cylinder cars and hybrids are getting
way more popular than big, gas juggling
SUVs (I would not like to be filling up an
80 litre tank at this moment).
