Re: Gasoline Prices Below 99 Cents/Litre By Christmas

reply to Riplin

My friend posted a pic of the pump in Lethbridge a week or so ago at 95.9. We're at about 119.9 here in Hamilton. I'm glad for that, but sub 1.00 would be nice.

$1.169 here in Kelowna for the past week or so.

I saw 112 in Welland. Close but no cigar.

Prices have come down a lot in the US though from where when this discussion started, though. I would argue that prices *should* be lower up here, but the distributors are profit taking and not passing the savings on to us. No one should be surprised by that.

Its all about delivering increased (record) profits in order for the executive to make their bonus clauses.

Years (decades) of short sighted energy policy-making has allowed a few corporations a stranglehold on the domestic energy supply. If you were in a competition removed high profit/high volume business wouldn't you take advantage of your good fortune.

Wasn't Esso 2.2 billion in net profit 2011?

I did get gas for $1.12 last week, which is about $1.035 before the PST portion of HST. Under $1.00/litre if you exclude sales tax.

And the games begin anew, prices for gas are expected to be very high cone the new year? Why you ask? Something blow up? Another could be, maybe crisis in the middle east? Nope this time the excuse is the "fiscal cliff" the Yanks will encounter.

Guess some execs are concerned about being dinged for more taxes and decided to fatten the paycheque to compensate.

Fucken thieves is what comes together to mind.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake.......

113.9 in Kanata this morning.

Grabbed tankful in Beaverton yesterday at $1.12/L.

This morning in Kitchener it was $1.20/L.

I'd be happy to see $1/L

It won't happen. Here's one reason: »edition.cnn.com/2012/12/30/busin···t=imi_c2

I thought they said they were happy with $80/ BBL?

I read that it was 89.9 in Edmonton but on my short drive this morning saw it at 94.9

I know we generally pay the lowest fuel prices in the country so I'm going to enjoy these prices while they last.

reply to Xstar_Lumini
$1.29 in HRM...

»www.halifaxgasprices.com/

Looks like Washington and other US states are considering a tax on electric vehicles since they do not purchase gas thereby avoiding the gas tax which goes to roads & highway maintenance...

»insideevs.com/seattle-and-state-···st-2013/

I believe over time this electric tax will increase from the yearly $100...

reply to Xstar_Lumini
Now 92.9 here in Edmonton.

$1.20 today in Ottawa but I paid $1.14 in Gananoque yesterday.

reply to Xstar_Lumini
Still $1.36 in Montreal. About the same price as in October when this silly prediction was made.

Paid $3.65/gal in Vermont tonight while I was on my way home from Stowe.

The BS part about the price is that it didn't change once over the 4 days that I was down in Vermont and yet up here the price changes multiple times per day.
