I just filled the tank half an hour ago... the boss wanted a coffee and bagel, and he even bought :)
$48.00 even for 42.4L of 87 octane... I'd had the gas light on for over a day, and totally forgot to go out and fill up last night.
It's chaos here in North Bay. Every station has stupid lineups. I rabbited in behind a pickup with 8 gas cans, turned up the tunes and turned off the engine. 10 minutes later I was filling the tank. I got lucky. Other pump lineups at the same station were 4-6 cars long. I jumped in to that one because I was the only compact that could swing around the other pickups in line :ph34r:
Also, the guy who was running the station kept coming out and inspecting people's cars and trucks, encouraging us to pre-pay (which I did for the first time in over a year), and watching for drive-offs.
He also looked very nervous and shifty, as though he was just ordered to raise the price and was quite unsure as to when to do it exactly.
