We were paying 84.5 when we left Victoria a week ago Monday....got to Ontario and it was as low as 67.9 in St. Jacobs.....unbelieveable. Over the summer in Victoria we were paying 98.5........

I find it difficult to have sympathy even with the lovely willmore, as we are paying about 85 pence a litre here in Blighty.

that's odd, when we left UK August 2001 we were paying 88p a litre, and petrol was just over 40c a litre here - so by now it has doubled in Canada.... but not in UK? :confused:

Dont bother...its jumped up to 74.9 now. I dont understand the mechanism here, it Jump up 10c+ at a time, but then slowly trickles down before jumping again.

Because of the tax. Since there is far less tax on Canadian petrol it is more sensitive to the oil price.
