For you Americans, you are used to a steady rise in the price over time. Come to Canada, prices vary by the DAY. In fact, over the last week, the price went like this: Monday $0.87 litre. Tues $0.84 litre. Wed $0.91 litre. Thurs $0.86 litre. Fri $0.83 litre. Late Fri $0.91 litre.
Conversion to U.S. gallons/dollars: Our dollar = $0.74 U.S. One U.S. gallon = 3.8 litres.
In U.S. $ per U.S. gal terms, thats a fluctuation of of between $2.32 to $2.56 gal, in one week. Either we have the most true to capitalist gas pricing (immediately responds to demand/supply conditions) or there is massive collusion between oil companies. Since price increases are geared toward weekends and holidays, it's hard to tell which is true, maybe both. -Rich
