As a man of budget and not by choice, I mind a watchful eye on the gas price as its probably the most volitile price out there. Its one of the few products that has a price which will change daily.
The trend so far has been of gradual increase. 5 years ago, the Canadian Average gas price was just over 66.9c/l. (Cents per litre), the Ontario average only slightly lower and the US average just over 39.0c/l.
Today the Canadian average is Just under 127.0c/l, the Ontario average is 121.0c/l and the US average is just 99.0c/l.
So if your Canadian youve had a 53% increase in gas price over a 5 year span, if your American, its gone up 256%.

This brings on panic in tourisim. People will be less inclined to travel as the price goes up. Filling a 100 litre tank now will cost you $121 as opposed to $66.90 of 5 years ago. Not to mention other prices for just about everything will go up to recover the cost, how much is unknown.
As we fish, we tend to wander distances for these fishing spots. Do you think in light of higher gas prices you will be inclined to go fishing less, or less of a distance?
