Gas prices?
 
Just filled up at $105.8, didn't think that was too bad. How are other areas of the country in comparison?

I'm surprised you guys haven't started a riot at that price. It'll probably be $2 a litre during the summer months if it's that now.

From Alberta eh? To quote blackadder, 'you're just one of those gloaters'. About $1.35 in Metro Van.

There must be some sort of local extra taxes applied to make the prices that high. Surely in a metropolis the price should be lower than outlying areas?

It wasn't that many years ago, 4 or 5 and it was around the 60-70c a litre mark. I can't believe that demand is that much higher in the middle of a global recession than it was then to push prices up so high. Someone is making a whole snot load of money from this.

It's about 15c cheaper in outlying areas like Mission etc. In Vancouver, you have additional things like granola tax, lululemon levy etc :lol:

Eeeeee I remember the real old days when it was 35¢ a gallon and that wasn't any wimpy U.S. Gallon I'm talking the real thing "IMPERIAL". :p:D

Crikey! The least I can recall is about 99p a gallon. I still reckon the conversion from imperial was a big con to make people spend more.
