Has competition finally come to gas pricing in Canada? Probably not, but it sure looks odd lately. Over the course of the week, gas prices have oscillated between $0.68/litre to $0.84/litre. That represents a difference in a V8 Mustang of around $8.00 per tank! One day over the last five days, i've seen pricing of $0.84 in one place, and $0.70 in another, on the same day. Normally, they operate lock-step with each other, prices being relatively uniform. One day they are all around $0.73 the next, $0.83. But recently, i've seen huge divergences between stations. It's almost like mini price wars are developing. Too bad we haven't seen $0.56/litre like we had around 3 years ago...
