Since they are so prompt to raise prices up to 10 cents a litre at exactly the same time, and then when prices are falling a half cent drop per litre at exactly the same time spread over several days, here's my suggestion ... boycott Midland and Penetang gas bars.

If you are driving by Barrie, you can save eight to 10 cents a litre, or the short drive to Coldwater or Elmvale is usually worthwhile. We should not be held hostage to the lack of real competition is this area.
