AFTER RECENT INCREASE

Only Albertans paying
less than a dollar for gas

_ Oil-rich Albertans remain —
the only Canadian motorists

who can boast about being
able to buy regular gasoline
for: less than a dollar a
gallon.

The rest of the country has
yet to feel the full impact of
Thursday's gasoline price
increase, but a random
survey of service stations
indicates it is business as
usual,

' Pew motorists who filled
up at an Ottawa station
Wednesday to beat the
deadline complained about
the coming price increase,
said an attendant.

“Everyone is raising their
prices and people don’t have
a say in the matter,” ho said.
He predicted business would

not be hurt by the move.

Another attendant said
Canadians will pay any price
for their gas, no matter how
high the prices go. “People
do need gas to run their cars,
I don’t think we'll lose
business over the increases.”

Canadian oil companies.

agreed two months ago to
hold off on a proposed crude
oil price increase of $1 to
$13.75 a barrel.

Self-serve customers in
Edmonton were paying 17.8
cents a litre, up from 16.7

‘ cents for regular ga, In

Calgary, regular gas at self-
serve stations rose to 18.2
from 17.1,

At Edmonton and Calgary
full-servico stations, regular
gas has gone from 17.6 to
