>Did you know that from 12:00pm-1:00pm everyday at every Kangaroo station, gas is 1.00/gal? It was still true today. However, you couldn't get within 10 blocks of any Kangaroo station at that time to take advantage of it....

Here today it was 136.6 per litre. That equates to about $5.85 US per US gallon. Keep in mind we aren't dependent on oil from Texas. This is nuts. If the oil companies aren't careful, this could become a new campaign debating point in both our elections. I heard one financial analyst saying this morning on the radio that he is absolutely shocked at how politically tone-deaf the oil companies seem to be.
