USD, not CAD.
we're still paying more than you.
NFY with the current exchange rates if it is $0.79USD/litre then it might not be paying more, in Vancouver it is very overpriced but in a couple provinces where the gas tax isn't like $0.5/litre I hear the prices are about $0.80/litre. Then again I think Canada should hoard all the oil from Alberta for themselves and make the prices cheaper for us
Expensive is relative. It was $1.70 a gal a few years ago. Now its $3.00 a gallon. Why? Why did the price almost double? Is there a reason? I don't know of one. So it pisses me off that I have to pay it.
OPEC and the fear of "running out" of fuel because OPEC puts a restriction on the amount of oil which can be pumped out of the ground and if you take into account that China is growing very very quickly(I heard a city the size of Vancouver a year) you get a lot more people who use gas which drives up the prices. But that is just speculation
