I was watching CNN other day and they mentioned something about some terrorist attacked some oil refineries and torched them.
I forgot the details. Maybe it has something to do with that.

If you buy gas now. What are you gonna do the next follow week. Not buy it? lol.. You still gotta buy it regardless the price. Unless you're talking about bringing in 10 Jerry cans and filling them up.

If people are willing to buy gas at $1.50 why sell it for less?

Up until recently, the price of oil per barrel was pretty cheap... gas SHOULD have been around 70 cents a litre, even with all our taxes on it. But, it was sitting around a dollar all this time...

However, rational consumer in a free market will always go for the best (lowest) ask price. Therefore just because a seller/business can charge $xxx for something doesn't mean they should if they want to be in business for the long run. I am just speaking purely from the marketing perspective. But there are also laws in Canada protecting consumers from predatory pricing so no you cannot as a business charge anything you want and get away with it.

However, there IS a law that prevents retailers from colluding with each other to artificially mark the prices up together.
I mean, if an individual gas station decided to mark it up to $1.40/L, then obviously everyone would go to another gas station to fill up.
But if that gas station owner called up all the other gas station owners in the area and made a deal so that they all jacked it up to $1.40/L, then that's illegal.
