SilvrT Posted February 25, 2011 #1 Posted February 25, 2011 Just looked at the recent gas prices in most major cities in Canada. We're around $1.24 per litre (that's about $4.70 per US gal) and we're the highest in all of Canada. Most other places are about 10 cents per litre cheaper and even Victoria, which is our next closest major centre, which is across the straight from us is cheaper. Lowest price posted is $1.01 up in Edmonton, Alberta. Now I know the cost of crude is going up and why but there's really something wrong when we Canucks have to pay such a high price, not to mention why Vancouver is so much higher than most of the rest of Canada. Thankfully our vehicles don't run on water coz to buy a litre of that would be outrageous! LOL
KeithR Posted February 25, 2011 #2 Posted February 25, 2011 Regular $1.30/liter here and they are talking about another hike next week of .06/l. Not nice..........seems to me they prediced close to $1.50/l this summer! Keith

Keith Prices I stated were as of Feb 22nd so although I haven't checked today, I imagine they're into the buck-thirty something range.
KarlS Posted February 25, 2011 #4 Posted February 25, 2011 Gas went up 40 cents per gallon today, less expensive then what your paying but quite an increase. Got to make more money for the wall street bankers.

E-Fishin-C Posted February 25, 2011 #10 Posted February 25, 2011 :bang head:Between Sudbury and Timmins ....$1.68 a Litre $7.64 a Gallon
SteveW Posted February 25, 2011 #11 Posted February 25, 2011 went by a few stations with a kid outside changing the price. They should just leave him there because it went up 5 cents from 10 am and 1 pm today. between 3.15 and as high as 3.33 a gal. today.
Flyinfool Posted February 25, 2011 #12 Posted February 25, 2011 Gas went from $3.05 to $3.40 while I was at work today. I gots to hurry-up and git my scoot fixed.....
Black Owl Posted February 25, 2011 #13 Posted February 25, 2011 Well, if you guys in Canada would just stop shipping all your oil down here, we could stop selling all ours to China and just maybe we could get the prices to drop a bit. Just not sure where all the oil money is going, but we're sure not seeing any revenue increase at the well head. All my revenue is going back into the tank... Gonna be real expense to take the trailer queen out this summer (if the snow ever melts).
bj66 Posted February 25, 2011 #14 Posted February 25, 2011 Talked to lady today who works at local station. She said they got the call to raise gas 10 cents this morning. Then this afternoon they got another call to raise another 10 cents. Imagine that............
Rick Haywood Posted February 25, 2011 #15 Posted February 25, 2011 $3.36 for 87 octane here in central Illinois
gscbertrand Posted February 26, 2011 #16 Posted February 26, 2011 What bothers me is the gas in the system was bought a a lower price than what is predicted for the future. So how come?
dray Posted February 26, 2011 #17 Posted February 26, 2011 :bang head:Between Sudbury and Timmins ....$1.68 a Litre $7.64 a Gallon they seen you comming did'nt They:stickpoke:
mini-muffin Posted February 26, 2011 #18 Posted February 26, 2011 What bothers me is the gas in the system was bought a a lower price than what is predicted for the future. So how come? That's easy to explain. The price per barrel has shot up so the gas does too. Doesn't matter that they already bought that stuff and processed it. Of course on the other hand once the price per barrel drops it'll take a while for the price per gallon to drop. It's all about lining someone's pocket with green backs and it ain't any of us.

Guest scarylarry Posted February 26, 2011 #19 Posted February 26, 2011 There are some small entrepreneurs that make money off high oil prices...
krispy Posted February 26, 2011 #20 Posted February 26, 2011 :bang head:Between Sudbury and Timmins ....$1.68 a Litre $7.64 a Gallon That's for an Imperial or British gallon. For a U.S. gallon that's ONLY $6.39 a gallon. For all you ethanol bashers, how high do you think gas would be if we weren't burning some ethanol to cut down the demand for gas-gas.
friesman Posted February 26, 2011 #21 Posted February 26, 2011 For all you ethanol bashers, how high do you think gas would be if we weren't burning some ethanol to cut down the demand for gas-gas. Uh -OH now ya done it........Here it comes..... Brian
ashley9187 Posted February 26, 2011 #22 Posted February 26, 2011 We are having gas wars here in San Antonio TX!!, .9 miles from where I live their are 3 gas stations a Cheveron, Valero, Shell two of the 3 has gas priced at 3.19 and the one was pricing gas at 3.13 a gal. Which station had no vacant pumps?? You get three guess and the first two don't count. Rick A.
b2dad Posted February 26, 2011 #23 Posted February 26, 2011 Yup, it jumped here from 2.99 Tuesday morning to 3.26 by lunch today. Can't really afford to drive to work anymore...
Guest scarylarry Posted February 26, 2011 #24 Posted February 26, 2011 Yup, it jumped here from 2.99 Tuesday morning to 3.26 by lunch today. Can't really afford to drive to work anymore... Hey ride the bike to work...
Carbon_One Posted February 26, 2011 #25 Posted February 26, 2011 A day or two ago regular was 3.17 a gal, This morning it was 3.25 and this evening up to 3.45 a gal. Shipping will most likely be seeing increases now too with higher fuel surcharges. Larry
