I wish someone can explain how gas prices in Kamloops can be $1.06/l and an hr away here in Armstrong we are $1.29/l We hear prices are high because of oil, refinery space etc etc but $0.24/l difference throws that explanation out the window especially when the fuel comes from the same refinery.

Simple. People are paying it, so they just keep putting the price up. Sure you hear lots of complaining about the high gas prices, but how many of us stayed home cause of the high prices? Not a whole lot i'm guessing.
But I do agree. It's ridiculous.

GAS WAR we need more of them.

hate to say it but no more cheese production in Armstrong for about 10 years. Just a small local company making it for the tourist.

I bet more and more people actually do think about the cost of fuel when planning their trips compared to a few years ago. Either way, this makes no sense. It should be relatively close from one city to another for the exception of a couple cents because of local additional taxes.

 

[what_next]

what high gas prices will eventually do is make people not enjoy life as much, with less traveling and so on

 

[Bogger]

with fuel prices where they are transportation costs for that hour are high....

 

[modmanmike]

Ok explain this.... why in May of 2008 Oil was $150 a barrel gas shot up to $1.20/L because the of oil was so high now May 2010 oil $99/barrel gas still $1.20/L ???

Something like the par Canadian dollar if you paid that price before you will continue to pay it?

 

[RMK Junky]

Cost factors...that's what it's all about. From the time of the land sale right to your tank the cost of production is staggering...I'll give them that. But these multi million dollar companies never seece to amaze me. Whoa is me, poor bastards. Pockets continue to get lined in more ways than one, don't kid your self. The four western provinces are continuing to be busier now thanks to some what of a boom for oil and gas again. Some of these projects are huge and industry is going to stay steady for the next 5yrs...so I've been hearing If there is a drastic drop in fuel prices I'll be surprised but don't you count on saving pennies just yet.

You just answered your own question. Because the oil and gas sector know this all to well. " Big Oil " as some might say it controls everything in my opinion..not government because they're small potatoes. The only time there is any reaction to the cry of the Canadian stiff is at election time, go figure. Do you really want to walk or ride your bike everywhere? Probably not. So who really makes the world go round, I ask you...
