680 News is predicting a .4 cent increase to 128.8 for Saturday. I wonder what Sunday will bring?

Krutoj, for 30,000 you can get a $28 discount if you have CIBC Petropoints Mastercard... or $20 if you don't.
You did not collect all the points that are available when you are using this Credit Card... plus 20% more combining it with a CAA membership.
I am getting this amount of points (+30,000)every month and I use them whenever I want not just when they allow me to... they never expire. They also have so many promotions so you can get points faster. I am also getting my free CAA membership using them. If I would buy anything from the store I would get even more but everything in a gas station store is much more expensive as we all know.

LCBO gift card... not for me :) I am the driver :P

Miron, I have collected petropoints for many years and there is nothing valuable I could get for them. Tell me what I can possibly get for 30000 points!
Now Shell gas is better for my cars (power+mileage) so I don't mind their promos. And I definitely can use LCBO gift cards :)

Krutoj, I just calculated: I would make an extra $1.41 (compared to buying at Petro) but I would have to spend another $10 for something that I do not need :( No thanks, Mr. Shell! When the price was 119.9 they did not think to have it :(

What do you mean? Shall I go 5 times at Shell? :) Is this limited?

I am wondering why all these 'givings out' are happening only when the prices are sky rocketing? Do they really think that we are so stupid not to notice? Let them have their own air miles!

Guys, go down south this weekend! Smokin Joe sells for 3.43 a gallon.

If you are so patriotic to stay, use Shell promo: buy $20 of gas and $10 in-store (gift card, perhaps) and get 25 air miles.
I'm sure Miron can repeat this 5 times!

Sorry but in my profession you have to be perfect or there are consequences! So, I am applying it everywhere, like it or not! It does not have anything to do with the help we get from TGPT, it's all about total quality!

So let me get this right -- TGPT gives you an accurate heads up earlier for the next day, the day after that and then week ahead and you're hung up over "Sunday the 17" ? Wow .... Gee Miron _ can I get you over to our place to manicure our lawn ? lol Have a great and safe weekend ... Looks like a beauty !

If others are wrong this is not an excuse for their own mistakes which should be acknowledged and corrected! If they want to be spotless!

They did correct the mistake without comments :P

According to En-Pro, gas prices are not expected to change on May 15, remaining at an average price of 124.8 cents/litre at most GTA gas stations... which is NOT TRUE!

TGPT tweeted we are up half a cent overnight to $ 125.3 for Wednesday. Looks like Miron should get into the prediction business. Lol

Unfortunately everyone is UP to 125.3 this morning :( so all yesterday predictions were wrong... if they could not raise the price they increased the margin... old tactics at work! Can I increase my salary too whenever I wish?

It looks like they play the game in the morning when people are in hurry and do not pay attention on price... later in the day they join the others. Shell did the same last week... I'll take a look on my way home in the afternoon.

Dunno Tramguy but I think Miron was on to something when he noticed (and posted here) that Shell was upping the price half a penny last Friday. It fizzled over the weekend, but some are now joining in. Could it be that some retailers are increasing their retail take ? TGPT hasnt said anything

Most stations Monday morning were showing 125.3 in the Bloor, Hurontario, Dixie, Dundas area. The only exception was the Esso at Hurontario and Central Parkway. It was still at 124.8 TGPT showed no increase last night. What's going on, Biff? Prices have seldom increased on Mondays! They are showing no increase for Tuesday.
