So, after a jump of $0.06 or $0.07 per litre yesterday, we’re still looking at another gas hike that could bring gas in this city to $1.30 or $1.35 per litre by tonight. Great.

Motorists pulling up to the pumps this morning may be wishing they filled up yesterday, after prices jumped overnight by as much as 20 cents a litre.

In Toronto, the price of gasoline at some stations was about $1.24 a litre. And in Montreal, gas prices hit $1.15 a litre.

On the West Coast, prices hit $1.21 per litre in Vancouver. Even in oil-rich Alberta, gas prices in Edmonton hit $1.24 a litre.

Out east, in Fredericton, motorists could expect to pay as much as $1.19 a litre. In Gander, Nfld., prices weren’t much better, coming in at $1.17 a litre this morning.

The price hikes come amid reports of massive damage caused by hurricane Katrina, which slammed into the U.S. Gulf Coast on Monday.

I grabbed a new template and modded it. The colours it came with were not so great, so I fixed them.

Pics to follow. I drove for 26 hours straight to get back. Sleep needed.
