Gas in my area in Ontario is .98/litre. Which is equal to about $3.70/gallon.

Ugh! It's usually more expensive in the UK and California. Not sure why. I think the reason it's so expensive in Canada is because there is so much land and not a lot of people to pay taxes, so they jack everything up. It's sad, really

I don't know about Canada but in California it's so expensive because of state taxes.

That's messed up! :-(

Yeah prices are still high in a lot of places but lower than they were awhile back.

Are you in Canada?

If you're asking me, no, but close. I'm in the UP of Michigan.

Ah, I see!

Sorry, wasn't trying to get personal. I was thinking when I read your comment that you moved away from here. Lol

I know :) ...I just liked the way you asked the question! We just vacationed just north of Eppoufette (Spelling?) Beached it all week long on US 2 near Brevort.

Sounds like fun!

U.P. at least once a year. There's nothing like driving over that bridge. We are roughly 3 hours drive south of the bridge. My daughter actually had 3 summers on Mackinac Island for summer jobs. Spent a few heavily discounted nights there because of that!

Yes!! And we all need a break from civilization once in a while. Okay, I have to wait 70 more seconds so am killing time adding nonsense to this reply ;-)

I know-why do they do that? Your meme is funny!

Yeah, is nice up here and peaceful.

Just replied to myself thinking I was commenting on your last meme which was funny.

Really?? Where to??

um...home?

The price of fuel in Canada is actually a complicated mix of supply, demand, taxes, monopolies and equal parts greed. The two largest oil companies who also own plenty of gas stations throughout the country often set the prices for the rest of the smaller companies. These smaller companies often buy their fuel from them and are in direct competition with them. There are some other factors as well. I'm not much of an economist though, but I think that's the convoluted gist of it.

Also, gas stations don't make much money off of selling fuel. The fuel is just a draw to get people into their stores. What they sell in-store is what they actually profit off of.

Oh, never thought about that--so, it's like the movie theater where they may no money from the actual movie but bookue bucks on the snacks.

Lots of taxes are included in the gas price.

Yes--too many for some areas. I think prices should be about the same nationwide, at least. California is about a dollar more than other states, while New Mexico has about the cheapest--this is my opinion that I formed from road trips.

True. But there are also a lot of cars and trucks in California. Thus, the demand for fuel is high. Other states have lower populations so the demand is lower in those areas.

Yes, I agree even though it seems like it would still be somewhat relative.

Logic would dictate that.

Ha-ha! ;-)
