Price rise at area pumps
BY jIM HAGARTY
The day of the dollar -a -gallon for gasoline has
come.
As of Tuesday morning, two gas outlets in
Goderich had increased their prices at the
pumps, with the other stations admitting they
probably won't be far behind.
John Prouse, owner Of Prouse's 5 Points Gulf
on Kingston Street, said Tuesday that the price
of premium gas at his station has surpassed the
one -dollar mark. Premium cost $1.04 per
gallon, with regular gas rising to 95.9 cents per
gallon and unleaded costing 99.9 cents.
Mr. Prouse termed the price increase, about
11 cents per gallon, "pretty ridiculous." He
admitted his business has dropped off sud-
denly, but expects it to level off when the other
stationsraise their prices.
Terry MacDonald, co-owner of. Ed's Shell on
Victoria Street told the Signal -Star that his
station had put its prices up by nine cents
across the board on Monday. Regular gas at
Ed's is now••92.9 cents per gallon, with unleaded
costing 97.9 cents and super 99.9 cents a gallon.
Mr. MacDonald said that the price rise at
Ed's has hurt business already, adding that the
gas -buying public usually goes where the prices
are the lowest.
Ed's Shell, however, might not have to wait
long before its prices are again competitive.
Joanne Smith, operator of Barnett's Texaco
and Automatic Car Wash on Huron Road said
on Tuesday that prices at that station will

definitely be going up, depending on when the
other stations increase their prices. "I'll try to
keep the prices deft as long as I can," she,
said, even though the price to Barnett's from
the gas company has gone up 10 cents per
gallon. -
Barnett's Texaco is still, selling its regular
gasoline for 83.9 cents per gallop, and its lead-
free gas for 89.9 cents.
Don Armstrong, co-owner of Goderich Fina
Sales and Service on BaYfield • Road, told the
Signal -Star that prices at that station will he
increasing, but that they too will attempt to
keep them down as long as they can. Mr.
Armstrong said he couldn't tell yet whether or
not his business had increased in the wake of
the increase at Ed's Shell, because "we're
always busy."
