Gas (today) in Victoria BC is $1.05 per litre, which translates to $3.97CAD per gallon. With the Canadian dollar being nearly on-par with the US Dollar, it's about $3.70 on average. But then again, living on an island makes gas prices a bit higher due to getting it delivered. I'd be interested to hear what the prices are like from coast to coast in Canada.

Hmmm....I wonder why gas is soooo cheap in Tex-ASS...I could name a couple presidents vested in the oil industry whose last name rhymes with push...just sayin... In other news...my state, California is PWNed and paying the highest of any of the mainland states...Fail on my commute cost :(

I wish gas in Canada would be as cheap as gas in the United States.

Gas prices will always follow the supply and demand trends in the world just as oil does. !!!

I would argue that gas taxes in Canada do far more to provide infrastructure there than the investment made in the USA. You could have that cheap gas, but QEW/401/TC etc would be even worse. TTC would be underdeveloped. There'd be no Canada line in Vancouver for 2010...maybe the Evergreen line would not be on hold. The bridges in Montreal would not be replaceable when they collapse.

Gas is cheap in states with major refinery's, less transport costs from the source to the pump. Texas, Mississippi, New Jersey, they all have them, hence lower price/number of cars/miles driven ratio of the graphic.

Also, California requires a special blend of gas that produces fewer smog-forming emissions which only a few refineries make.

That's pretty stupid to think the president influences gas prices in certain areas. Gas is cheaper in Texas because *gasp* they have oil refineries there.

So why are industry stockpiles well above the seasonal average? Why are producers scrambling to find places to store the stuff? How is it demand is flat yet prices have jumped 20%? Oil pricing has disconnected from reality once again.

I wish people would stop complaining so much about gas prices. Let's say you get 25mpg on average and drive 15,000 miles a year, if gas goes up a dollar, you're spending a whole $600 extra on gas to fill up your $15,000 car, OH NO! But then people have no problem buying coffee every morning, which even at a conservative estimate of $3 a cup, which would maybe get you just plain coffee, you're spending over $1000/year. You wanna...

The "value" of the worthless paper Honecker-in-Black-face is printing hourly is changing the price you pay. Less gas is being sold because Dear Leader, his pet "community organizers" and his Chicago thugs have created 17% unemployment, and no one needs fuel to drive to work. The cost of pumping and refining oil hasn't gone up.

$600 extra a year is a *lot* of money for people on tight budgets. Not everyone buys a $3 cup of coffee in the morning, or drives a $15,000 car, etc. I see where you're coming from, and know the kind of people of whom you speak, but there are a *lot* of people hurting out there right now whose monthly income barely covers their expenses... if they're lucky enough to even have a job.
