I was stopped at a traffic light last friday, at one of those intersections that had a gas station on either side. In this case, it was a Petro and an Esso. The Petro was selling gas at 78.9¢/L , and I looked across the street to find the Esso selling gas at 87.9¢/L?? I’ve noticed that this particular Esso always sold gas a little bit higher than the Petro (maybe because it was newer), but today it seemed like the gas attendant was dyslexic.

Anyways, yesterday my preferred Esso station ran out of gas as I drove past. I didn’t think much about it because I still had more than half a tank. Today, I noticed yet another Esso that closed down due to lack of gas. Have you noticed that gas prices have spiked 10¢ in the last week? Apparently, Esso is having a gas shortage in Canada. But it’s nice that the other gas stations (Shell, Petro) have raised their prices since the demand is the same but the supply has gone down.
