Re: Price of gas update...
The price of oil is also in free fall, and likely offsets the collapse in the CAD.
Yesterday I paid $1.899 for BP in the next town (actually 20gal @ $1.699 with loyalty discount) and it was $1.919 locally. By this morning it was $1.899 locally. I will be passing through the next town tomorrow and hope to pick up some gas at an even lower price than I paid yesterday.

Once higher taxes are accounted for as well as the exchange rate, on average this region pays 13 cents more per liter then the towns on the US side.

This makes a large difference in prices in the US.

If only you were right, but no, the VAT is charged on the price including duty. 
Yup, but not that it really matters because they have a certain revenue "take" in mind and if they didn't collect VAT on duty on fuel then the figures would just be higher, either on fuel, or overall. One way another HMR&C will get their pound of flesh.

Re: Price of gas update...
I think the US charges a fixed amount per gallon also, with Pensylvania possibly having the highest tax this year.

Montreal for example average is 1.07, vs 1.22 in Vancouver.
Even outside of Metro Vancouver where there are lower gas taxes, still averaging 1.16 to 1.20/liter.
As they say BC = Bring Cash. We pay for the most part more for everything compared to other provinces.
