I see one place today at 1,13 l I almost shat a brick ,how is it right with oil at less the 50bucks a barrel ,D
Wait untill they slap on a carbon tax shortly, won't that be wonderful.
Why, because the oil companies know they can get away with it. No ones screaming or demanding their heads be put on a table. It's time for the public to start making some noise. I can remember back when they tried to raise the price of a gal of gasoline by a nickel and the public went wild, and within a day or two it was lowered to just a 2 cent increase. Nowadays, it's oh well, there's nothing that we can do about it...
IMO: We can scream all we want but as long as the government continues to get their cut from taxes, etc the prices will remain high.
Higher the prices the more $$ the government will make.
All they will say to us is "Don't like the price? Don't buy it"
Pretty much Jay.
Don't like Bank fees, loan rates, fees for investment accounts, RSPs and TFSAs, MFs. Keep your cash under the mattress, pay bills my snail mail, don't use debit or credit…..
Like it not they have us over a barrel of oil.
Not something I follow closely. Supply/Demand reserves and more.
All I know is that the "necessities" of life are sky rocketing and Johhny Q is hanging precariously and it "could" go south in a hurry if a perfect storm forms.
good job Ms Wynne
For the last coupla months they have just been conditioning us for the up coming $1.75-$2.00 per litre scam I'm sure we will be sure to hit. They gonna git from us what they can while they can.

Maybe if the public stopped giving Petro Canada their bucks, someone might take notice. If I did facebook, i'd put it their.
Still .48 cents a liter in Michigan.
If in fact you could get the public to buy in it would likely work. If we could near shut out an oil company for a week you can bet the price wars would begin. Canadians are polite sheep in general and Ontarians , well you know..........Quote:

Think of the price of gas as a fluid and prices are like a check valve. You get my drift?Quote:

So I figure it comes down to a "Who can pay, who can't who will and who won't averaging thing". Follow me. Lets say merc corp wants an average of 1200 per engine to make decent money. OK. The Dominican, well if he can put together a 100 bucks it's a miracle so lets bop him for 100. The yank, well he can afford more than anyone but if You try to bang him for more than a G note you'll be put to death. Now the canuk don't got as much as the yank both in money and in sack, so we can hit him for 2500+. He'll pay it, he's a good wee puppy. 2500+100+1000=3600Divide by 3 and the average price merc gets is,,,,,,,,,drum roll. I've watched it play over and over with many articles as I world travelQuote:

The other thing I am trying to wrap my head around is diesel ...

I cannot logically figure out the reason for the higher than gas diesel prices.
Ya basically that which goes into my diesel truck I could darn near drive up to an oil Derek and say "fill er up" and I'm 28 cents more. Perfect. That is so the long hauler trucks pay more. You and me pay more for what we need to live and on and on the cycle of rich getting richer is perpetuated
$1.14 earlier this week in Sudbury. 20 cent difference between Sudbury and North Bay. The Bay has 1/4 the population, but cheaper gas? Explain...
What does population have to do with gas price?Quote:

I agree with you but if we all get together and don't purchase any gas for one week, what do you think will come of it ?Quote:

I've seen that sent around by email, posted on bulletin boards, and Facebook for as long as there has been an Internet. Never worked before and never will.
I remember a big planned boycott about 16 years ago. I was working at the local Shell station at the time. Guess what...... busiest day the station had all year.
LSC is back at a 52 week low and gas is still over a buck. Blame it on the faceless, nameless refineries!
Heard the US is maxed out they have so muched refined they have no where to store anymore
And oil keeps making a lower low in pre-market trading. Good thing there is no relationship between the price of a barrel and the unexplained spikes at the pump!
$1.39 here. Luckily there's only 20kms of roads up here . Although its expensive for boats in the summer.
I'm surprised it is THAT cheap there.Quote:
