^Exactly. Right now a lot of the road use taxes are incorporated into gas prices. The big concern is that when the majority of people switch to EV's they're going to need to implement some other form of road use tax to recoup this funding.

I'm glad my F150 takes regular but last fill up cost $196.45 lol...

My work colleague just sent this to me

Here comes the pain!

lol, I topped up from 1/4 tank on Wed night. It was at 1.81.
Gotta buy on the "dip."

Seems like prices went up 10cents per day after that...
:fulloffuck:

Dafuq?! Where is this picture taken at?

Langley Esso on 192 was $2.09.9 around 5 pm today.

^^ That's crazy... :fulloffuck:

Isn't Langley traditionally supposed to be a touch cheaper than CoV?

It painful but understandable because of whats happening in Russia -Ukraine. Just gotta find alternative means for now.

It’s $1.46 cdn for regular in Point Roberts tonight :)

Yes but higher fuel prices = higher prices for everything, delivery, food, Uber. higher prices = more taxes charged on each item. If price of X went from $5 to $10 the gov is charging you taxes on $10 not $5. ??? Profit :rukidding:

Is there a reason I am missing for having gas prices measured to the tenth of a penny?

How bad are the Langley and Abby Costco gas lineups now?

^^ will you no longer be Acura604? Time for ev? Nsx? Lol

And all Costco's gas stations have line ups unless you go like 30 min before closing after dinner time :okay:

Anyone know why can't Canada produce our own gas? We depend on other countries too much.

Oh like how we don’t produce anything of our own and just sell raw products, only to re-import them. Or let all of our companies be bought out by others from other countries like the US

BeKus FrEedOmz, just like how we don't give a shit about our homeless and poor people but we want moar from Ukraine :ahwow: we will gladly support other countries with our tax dollars!! Everyone gets free rocket launchers!

Might just be the station gouging. I came home at 1 am last night and they had $2.12.9 showing on the board.

Costs too much to produce it. Oil sands is much more expensive to extract oil from so unless prices are quite high they are not economical.

We can't switch overnight. The carbon tax on natural gas is going to make heating costs increase, the increased fuel costs will hit groceries, will hit people's savings, etc. This is not going to be good for anybody. And yet Horgan will never get off his ass to help.

If you think the gov has our best interests at heart and the taxes are fair, just remember the carbon tax is subject to GST.

to be fair they looked into it a bit

then did absolutely nothing LUL

The long time official reason was -- it was cheaper to send our crude to other places, namely the US, and buy back the refined product than it is to build a refinery and do it ourselves.

In the current climate where oil companies are busy redefining themselves as energy companies instead of petroleum companies, they mostly consider anything petroleum-related to be part of a sunset industry. And with much of the Western world committing to a new ICE sale ban by 2035-ish, they are not wrong. Essentially, there isn't any interest to invest in new refinery capacity.

Petrocan rack price the price gas stations pay before any taxes in Vancouver is 144.6 https://www.petro-canada.ca/en/business/rack-prices

After adding all taxes gas stationsbarw not making much if anything.

A couple of years ago we found out some smaller chains and stations where importing a gas from Alberta. They where making a killing. We looked into it and delivery cost was 12.5 cents as litre delivered to our station Nanaimo. The rack price difference was around 40 to 50 cents. Now the difference is around 20 cents. Larger chains where not doing it because the BC government has a limit on how much you could import. I believe the government will be cracking down on this in the next few months.

Pr today $1.139, 92 is $1.439. back to Jerry can life, f the carbon tax
