Still $1.25 here in PG, and we have a refinery in town.

Gas in Victoria was 128.9 last night, dont really care how cheap it is in Toronto!!

[snookums]

99.9 cents in some places in Ottawa this morning.
Can't remember last time it was under a dollar

[crystalsm]

I think it's 129.9 here right now... which is odd 'cause it's usually cheaper here than Prince George.

[RUEZ]

I wonder how they justify a 30 cent difference between Ontario and BC?

[Brenda]

I paid 128.9 today

[roger-roger]

119.8 here in Freddy, NB

Alberta’s already running out of diesel fuel, and even with that knowledge 3 or 4 places are shutting down for regular scheduled maintenance in the next 2 weeks.

About a dozen independent card lock places in Central Alberta ran out this weekend.

Better fill up those slip tanks.

The carbon tax is only 2 cents right now. With a 25 cent difference it really isn't much of a factor right now.

It isnt just the carbon Tax, its the transit tax, the transport tax, the gst, etc etc, I think the gov't makes more than the oil companies and i know my road had had no new work done in years, Transit has nice shiny new buses though!!

Kudos for your rationalism.

My guess is that BC's economy, on the whole, is better than Ontario's right now, leading to increased demand and thus higher prices. But 30 cents is a heck of a difference.
