There was a wave of panic buying in Montreal on September 23rd as gas prices jumped by 75 cents a liter overnight at some gas stations.

Motorists who waited at the pumps said they feared oil companies would jack up prices because of recent hurricanes in the US. (Some gas stations were charging nearly two dollars a liter.)
