Default 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.

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

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.
