Why the gas pains?

Living in the GTA has some advantages ... gasoline is cheaper.

In the past few weeks the price has dropped to 65 cents whereas here the gas is up again to 82 plus.

The price of oil is at an all-time low, there is plenty of surplus gasoline, and natural gas prices are down.

So why is gas so high in Simcoe County?

And transportation is not the reason.

It is high time politicians like Patrick Brown, Joe Tascona and even the mayors raise hell with the greedy oil companies.
