Gas Prices

[Guest scarylarry]

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.

This is why I order tires now instead of waiting, they are sure to jump and like you said shipping if it free shipping then you know the prices are sure to cover...

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

Hey what are you complaining about you have free health care.

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.

Most of my income comes from the oil industrie but I don't like what I see. The last 5 ecanomic down turns we have had were preceeded by a large increase in fuel prices. With the fragile state of the world economy I'm afraid this could be devistating for millions of people who are already hanging on by their finger nails I hope I am wrong.

Riding all summer in the land of the free and the brave is looking better and better.

THIS IS WHY THE US NEEDS TO DRILL!!!! this is ridiculous that every time the middle east has a hissy fit, our gas prices go up!!! I worked in the oilfields running boats for 5 years, and the people I talked to said we have a lot of oil in our own backyard. Time to start drilling and producing our own oil, and stabilize the economy.
