Didn't Mr. Gill and Tories promise a 10 cent reduction in gas prices? Did I miss the reduction as I don't see a change? Gas was 1.30+ prior to elections, and it is the same now.

Interesting theory :) by the time he will fulfil his promise, gas price will be $1.60 and then he will reduce it to $1.50 saying I fulfilled my promise. It will be all relative at that moment :)

It’ll go down for a day or two when the cap and trade scrapping kicks in. It hasn’t yet, has it?

Then gas will go back up, as it is not a fixed price as we all know. Then, when the feds actually impose a carbon tax, it’ll go up even further.

Lucky for us though this government likes to shoot from the hip so I’m sure they’ll come up with something.

Since we’re talking about gas... I just found out Milton has a Shell station just north of Hwy 401 on Hwy 25 which has been there since April

Since the price of gas is not static, how would we even know if a 10cent reduction took place - and if you were able to detect it, how could you know what to attribute it to since none of us have any idea what affects the price as it is?

Also, on an average 50L tank of gas, a 10cent price fluctuation represents a couple of coffees. We've lead ourselves to think the proposed relief would be much better than it actually would be.

Gas is just one of those things that costs what it costs and we should be happy it doesn't cost a LOT more, cause in pure terms of supply and demand, we're nowhere near peak price. People in Milton (and all over the country) wouldn't stop driving if the cost was $3.

Correct. And my point still stands

If the average person, in an average 50L tank vehicle, fills up an average of once a week, the savings on the over the non 10 cent price cut is a about a weeks worth of coffees.

Now imagine not filling up at all. Subsidy or not, the smart play going forward will be electric, especially if your concern is a 10cent gas reduction.

How much is a new electric car battery pack?

And how many litres of gas can you buy for that money?

Hahaha the old “but I have to buy new batteries” myth, like this is something that needs to be done on the reg.

There are many websites that will explain the cost benefits of electric. Ask the Home Inspector to find you one :wink:

Well he's got a point. I have to replace the AA batteries in my X-Box controller all the time. They must be the same
