"TGPT Blog: Tomorrow's gas price increase (due to the HST) ... by the numbers:
Toronto Wholesale (reg/unl): 60.7 Ontario Sales Tax (per litre): 14.7 Federal Excise Tax (per litre): 10 Toronto Retail Margin: 7 Subtotal: 92.4 (cpl) Multiplied by 13% (HST) = 12.01 (cpl) + 92.4 (cpl) = 104.4 (cpl) Breakdown of other cities upon request TGPT "

huh? so they did HST and PST? or is Ontario Sales Tax not PST?

[Kevin@nextmod]

I just filled mine up and i was crying at $68 with 60 L 470km

[dentinger]

this sucks. i have no money till payday *sigh*

[Roconne]

It will be what, an extra $4 or so per tank now? Yeah it sucks that we are paying more, but it's not wallet breaking. I know tons of people are saying they are going to rush and fill up their tanks tonight, but I don't know if I will be one of them (unless I'm already out).

[Turok]

I plan on topping off this evening, I was listening to the radio on the way home some gas stations have already run out of regular.. lucky I take premium:chuckle

[yearoftherat]

Use the HST rebate cheque McGinty sent ya to cover the increase...what a joke.

[ElegantGremlin]

They should've done it like BCs HST. BCs HST doesn't apply to gas.

You might be partially right but the thing is, have you thought about the people that drives a lot and have a big tank? Like some people put in 2 tanks a week.

It hurts me a bit seeing as I have about 100L of fuel to fill every week between the 4Runner and the 3. But I'm not waiting in line for an hour to save the $8 for this week.

I'm with you on that, I hate seeing those long ass lineups it's brutal! I'll drive by one if it's empty then I'll swing by but filled up this morning so I really don't need much...

[stevenma188]

Dam, debating filling up now or not. Why could I not have seen this before I drove home?

[SKYMP3]

Shell ran out of gas at my station and I paid regular for the gas of premium, hehe (thanks for the people who filled up earlier)
Too bad my tank was 75% full already.

[Unoriginalusername]

brutal guess i should not get tempted into a non fuel sipper for our second car as the van drinks it like its going out of style

[stevenma188]

I just filled up both my military issued rental van (on the government's dime), as well as my 3. Dam the lineup at all the gas stations.

[m_bisson]

boooo!

damn you canada. damn you.

[Pokey]

Filled up the 3 and put 25L into a red tank too :) Only had to wait 5 minutes at the station since I went against the grain and was first in line after some minivan.

$61 is nuts.

EDIT: BTW 92.2 cents/L

[Gizzmo_jr]

106.8L where I am now

[Thrizzl3]

i "philled" up at 96.8...$43 to fill the sucker

[tweak_s]

Didn't BC's people fight for that? We kinda just bent over....

[Krazy]

I see it at 104.4 now... damn lol

[iconicrocket]

Can you get some of the HST back if you're a business?

[MistaChin]

I went to the gas station last night, saw the lineup, then said fu** that. I just couldn't be bothered.

[Pokey]

Their gas does not get charged hst. It will get charged a carbon tax though - see they're NOT being taxed more, just adding new taxes ;)

[jonjon72]

Damn the gov't. They need to get their head on straight instead of finding ways to tax us to death.

[ElegantGremlin]

Yah. Everyone here was fueling up yesterday anyway. The gas wasn't going up because of the HST but because they introduced a new Carbon Tax cause they want people to stop driving the big trucks. Doesn't look like it's worked from the traffic I've seen.

[mazda lover]

Don't forget if you own a home your electric and gas and cable etc bills will be going up also. Bend over Ontario here comes the tax fingers,

Pokey was talking about no HST on gas in B.C. but they have carbon tax. But in Ontario the increase is actually due to HST.

You know it. Should have sent everyone a tube of KY along with the bribe cheques to help in taking it though :D

[PCLoadLetter]

Thanks to everyone who signed the petition in my signature. The website is still up and you can still sign if you haven't already.

I'm in BC right now. So "everyone here" is BC peoples. They're introducing the tax to encoruage people to drive more fuel-efficient cars.

I mean, it wasn't the $0.10/litre increase like in Ontario. It only went up like $0.01. Although, the Carbon Tax is staggered, and will be increasing every year for the next few years.

[blankets3]

you know whats awesome, just in time to have to start putting premium in the car im buying ... fuuuuu

[Impressive]

Some of us don't work full time and need every penny we have to survive.. What I make in a month barely covers insurance and the cost of gas (before the hike)...if i'm lucky i'm left with $100 over a two week period. $4 every time I fill up will be very noticable in a year when I'll still be without coilovers because of the this damn increase!

[Slade]

Double awesome, I just got rid of my 3 and bought a 3.7L I5 truck :|, with a 72+litre tank....$75 and its still not full....wth the increase, its only an extra $2.80 to fill my tank, not enough to really bitch about when im already paying almost $80 to fill it..

[starscream]

Just to put it into perspective, last year we paid up to 140-150 a litre (Ultra 94) and about 120-130 for regular. I DONT agree with HST, but the people that waited hours to save 2-3 bucks makes me laugh. We have had it worse, and albeit it got better, we dont fight enough to NOT get buttraped.

Way to go Ontario! :D

[baymoe]

I was lucky enough to fill my tank coming up from downtown with the gauge well past E (stupid me). Sunoco (Petro) on steeles and warden still had gas and haven't changed their price when I got there (12:10 ish).

[Default User]

well F me in the A hole.
Looks like I'm out of fuel already on BOTH cars!
110L of mid-grade fuel = no more $$$ to buy pork grinds and beer. @$&%#€!!!!

Hopefully I can scrape up enough Nickles and quarters to buy a siphon hose. Never really liked my neighbours anyways

[stevenma188]

Looks like prices are starting to drop slightly, although they are still higher than what it was at before.

[Thrizzl3]

oh cmon ppl it isn't as bad as when gas prices were $1.08 to $1.12/L when the price of oil when up..

[laksman91]

I swear 2 summers ago it was in the 1.30s

[Thrizzl3]

I swear 2 summers ago it was in the 1.30s

well at least you understood where i was coming from..if the prices were that high now i would be walking to work

[sarujo]

That's b/c BC has a carbon tax already on gasoline.


They should've done it like BCs HST. BCs HST doesn't apply to gas.

[laksman91]

Yeah.. i meant like.. it was alot higher before... even so I'm still complaining! lol cheaper = better

That's even a bigger rip-off.

Diesel doesn't cost that much...

I dont remember it hitting 66 cents lol

[Default User]

Well I remember when 66 cents was too high for gas. 55.9/L was the regular when I first started driving.

ssssiiiiiiiiggghhhhh ...... when $5 of gas was enough to blast to Wasaga Beach for the weekend and back with some left over for the Monday morning commute.

This was obviously before the fancy Lit-up gas price signs.

[Pokey]

It's selling for around 98.2 around here today.... (K-W) :)

More than the 92 I filled up at, but not insane.

[aris]

we still have cheaper gas then other country's ...right now i'm in Greece and gas is about $1.80L
