Yesterday in Kitchener I saw a gas station price their gas at $1.16/liter. Ouch. And this is just the start of the summer gas price gouging season.

This summer we will be driving to Schroon Lake for a staff conference, and then on to New Brunswick for a few weeks of vacation and visitation of supporters. With the prices of gas going up and up, I guess we will have dip into the retirement plan to pay for the cost of driving home this summer..

At this time last year the price was about $.20 cheaper than it is now. If the growth trend continues during the summer months like it did last year, I’ll be searching through the couch for lost quarters.
