Welcome to Reality!
Gas prices skyrocket overnight across CanadaCanwest News ServicePublished: Saturday, June 07, 2008Gas prices across the country shot up as much as six cents on Saturday morning as the cost of oil continued its record-setting ascent.
According to gasbuddy.com, a website that tracks gas prices across North America, pumps in Toronto hit $1.359 a litre early Saturday morning, up from $1.299 on Friday. Stations around Winnipeg had been selling gas for $1.259 a litre at 7 p.m. on Friday, but just five hours later, reports of $1.329-a-litre gasoline were commonplace. In remote Bonavista, Nfld., pumps reached a startling $1.449, as the cost of transporting refined oil pushed the fuel to new heights in far-flung communities.
The website averaged the price of gasoline across Canada to $1.337, up more than 20 cents a litre from last year.

That's been going on down here in the States, too. Went from $3.59 to $3.89 per gallon regular unleaded. Now it's been fluctuating down a little, up a little. Cheapest I've seen in this area is $3.76, but that station is always about 10 cents cheaper than everyone else. Now they're flying several US flags, whatever that means.

Canadians make billions selling oil to Americans. Why would they care about a price hike?

Thanks to you both for your comments, in regards to UOLE, yes Canada pretty much supplies you all your oil and have done so for almost a decade, there goes the Saudi Myth and Georges War for oil theory., The thing is we are pay $6.00 a gallon, and our Canadian dollars is the same value as the US dollar at par. So your'e lucky paying under 4 dollars for a gallon of gas, when Canada who should get it cheaper pays almost 3 dollars a gallon more. Pretty Warped if you ask me, Canada should be paying 4 bucks like you guys are in the US
