For the gas-conscious consumer: Friday, October 10, 2008
The Ottawa Citizen -- It was the 11th of September and what's on the mind of the nation? Terrorism? Politics? Try fuel prices. In one night, thanks to the predicted path of Hurricane Ike, the price of 87-octane, on average, shot up to a budget-breaking, plan-cancelling $1.38 a litre. Now, while some may still believe that this date is one that must live in infamy as the cornerstone of an ideological battle for freedom and not the price of gasoline, I, sitting in the cockpit of a new six-speed Mini Cooper, begged to differ.

	Gas will go up after the election, no matter who wins. If McBush wins, the oil companies will know they have a free ride for another 4 years and if Barak Obama wins, oil companies will have to get in one more gouging before things change.

	9/11 should be a battle cry for energy independance! Why should we send our $ to countries who (if you remember) danced in the streets on 9/11/01. I would rather pay $5.00 for gas, and have an electric car, then to ship money to terrorists and pay $1.00 for gas.
