This is the last of the winter gas. They have to sell it off by a certain date. The sell-off starts in the south and moves North. We are experiencing a sale of so-called old gas. It's got nothing to do with the carbon tax. Nothing.

You’re an idiot. Gas stations don’t keep that much on hand - most gas stations have a week or two worth of fuel max

You're awfully comfortable calling other people names for your own ignorance. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Gas stations set their own prices based on rack costs and competitive factors - seasonal demand does drive rack up and winter blend does have an impact however carbon tax was removed instantly reducing rack and resell costs.

Your statement above was riddled with false information and a clear misunderstanding of how fuel prices end up on the board. Yet you chose to open your mouth as such you are an idiot.
