GAS PRICES

Get rid of the gas guzzler

And use what for work?

A Ford Fiesta isn't that great with a 9' plow attached or a 65 gallon fuel tank on the roof. Lol.

Get rid of the gas guzzler

And her whole party.

It would be akin to say that not only do they guzzle but also snort based on the decisions made in this province.

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..........

Venezuala pays 4 cents per gallon, thats 4 cents US so of course you need to work in the exchange rate, drives it up big time.

How is it that the price of oil, , is still 50.00 a barrel, that gas has gone up from .84 in Oshawa , to 105.00!?

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

I noticed that in the Dominican too, @ 9 cents and not an oil field or refinery to be had. Here's what I figure. Go to places like that and look at all things. I mean every fisherman in his 8 foot plywood boat has a new 9.9 merc on the back. Pile of cake right, maybe 2500+ up here. 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 travel

Ya ... I noticed when the barrel went up $3 in one day, gas went up 12 cents the next day ... so much for delay.

The other thing I am trying to wrap my head around is diesel ... I remember diesel always being about 10% lower than gas, but today in my area diesel is 20 cents higher than gas ... refining is the same, the fluids have not changed ... I cannot logically figure out the reason for the higher than gas diesel prices.
