Rising Crude Oil Prices Temper Pump Pain

If you have filled up your gas tank in the past week in Ottawa, you know just how much prices have jumped at the pump.

For the third day in a row, crude oil prices have reached a new all time high. They jumped above $72.49 a barrel U.S. Wednesday. International tensions are partly to blame. But even if you ride a bike or take a bus, there's not much you can do to escape the pump pain. Eventually, the rising cost of crude is going to affect everyone.
