Possession is 9/10’s of the law.Ya, but you live in the "Lets hog all the fuel" province!
I agree, but what has changed in Alberta to warrant them raising gas prices? They can't blame the price of oil! "It cost us more to truck the oil to the refineries!" lol Greed certainly hasn't changed! lolIt is what it is. Got to pay to play. When I can’t afford the car, it will become a memory. Not making light of the crazy gas prices but I can only complain about those things I can fix. Current gas prices should be the clear indicator that elections matter.
FYI Alberta has the lowest gas prices in the country. I can't speak to gasoline but I can tell you that two diesel refineries are shut down temporarily for refinery upgrades. That has increased pressure on the supply side. Here is where the costs are. These taxes are plus GST/PST plus carbon unless stated otherwise. Glad I don't live in Montreal.....I agree, but what has changed in Alberta to warrant them raising gas prices? They can't blame the price of oil! "It cost us more to truck the oil to the refineries!" lol Greed certainly hasn't changed! lol

It's definitely smiles per miles Paul... The only reason I occasionally look at the price of gas is when I want to post it here for the envious comments from others across Canada... lol.. We don't drive $100k vehicles just to fret about that extra 30 cents per litre. The extra couple bucks to drive my Vette a hundred km means nothing...Hummm.... nobody mentioned that its supposed to be about smiles per miles..... or is it ......LOL
