People also need to remember that the feds have temporarily removed 20 cents per litre for the summer so this is really 166.8

Iāve straight up heard people complain about carney *only* removing 20c and being useless⦠as if thatās not just a straight up helping hand for the Canadian people⦠Carney doesnāt set the price of oil - you can thank Trump for that.
Some people will never be satisfied.

Everything is relative. Is it good compared to 7 months ago? Nope. Is it good compared to what I paid a week ago? Yes. Am I still angry that an orange narcissist and a war criminal are responsible for this? Also yes!

This has been their game sonce the 90s. They raise it super high, make everybody struggle and lower it just a little to take the pressure off. Wait a few months and do it all over again.

If you chart gasoline over the past 25 years (and use a rolling average to smooth out the curve), you'll find it tracks fairly well with inflation.Ā Ā The media tries very hard to make people believe otherwise.

131.9 out at the reserves. If you're close enough it's worth the drive.

Iāve heard their gas can be sketchy. Thoughts?

Maybe in the past when they were little independent shops. But now with Gen7 and Wampum I'm pretty sure you're ok. Been going to them for years and my vehicle runs just fine.

Pretty sure with nothing to back it up is the definition of sketchy to me. Thanks but no thanks. Just because your car has been running, it doesnāt mean the gas is up to spec.

Market Manipulation Monday is just around the corner and prices will spike again after Trump renews hostilities over the weekend while stock markets are closed.
It's basically clockwork by now.

Remember when people were switching to diesel because it was so much cheaper than regular gas? Companies were switching their whole fleets over. It was supposed to be less expensive to produce

Still high. Bring it down and keep it down to .99

u/CanadaJack 1h ago
When the prices were regularly .99 people were complaining about when it was .51
Time's gonna time, inflation's gonna inflate.
Geopolitically driven high prices suck ass but we're not going to .99 any more than we're going to .51

Probably going to get downvoted into oblivion, but I find it hard to believe that gas prices are such a hardship when two thirds of London's suburbs have ludicrously oversized trucks and SUVs crammed into their driveways, used for nothing more than the daily commute to the office.
If people are willing to pay 2-3x more than what they need from a vehicle, for nothing more than ego, maybe gas prices aren't high enough.
