That is for a gallon. That is about fifteen cents per litre. Not bad compared to anywhere in Canada.

Yep. it's about 3.13 a gallon if you are a BJs member.

I loaded up on 120 gallons and topped off my car and my truck as soon as this shit went down because I knew prices would sky rocket. I paid an average of 2.45 a gallon -- maybe 2.50 when you factor in the cost of the stabilizer I had to mix in.

I also stocked up on 350lbs of propane too. Over 50 pounds of beef stored in my freezers and stockpiles of dry goods, meal preps and MREs -- 150 gallons of water and the ability to purify thousands of gallons if I need to.

it'll be a while before I feel the crunch of any calamity

University of Toronto professor and supply chain expert Andre Cire says skyrocketing oil prices will have an impact on food prices in Canada.

"Energy is in everything. You need to transport food from one place to the other, you need to put fuel in those ships. We're going to start seeing some increase in food prices as well, just because the transportation costs are going to go up," he said.

Sustained pressure on oil prices could mean Canadians will pay 10-15 per cent more at the grocery store by the end of this month, Cire added.

"This has an impact on freight costs," he said.

China is scared shitless over the air and naval attacks on Iran.
