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 FHP SHEAVES - WITH SPLIT TAPER BUSHINGS EASY TO MOUNT.

"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." The price of regular gas at Goderich Fina is 84.9 cents a gallon. Unleaded'is 99-,9.cerits.: there is still 84.9 for regular and 89.9 for Sunoco, on the corner of Highways 21 and.'8.
