Toronto Star - Gas prices jump by 12.9 cents
Motorists got a rude shock this morning when they pulled into gas stations to fill 'e up: a massive overnight hike sent the average price at GTA pumps to $1.36.6.
The increase – 12.9 cents a litre, and more outside the GTA – is one of the highest single-step price hikes in recent memory, blamed by oil refiners on supply uncertainties posed by Hurricane Ike as it rampages across the Gulf of Mexico.
