What's going on over the past six months or so? We lived in Calgary at it's peak some years ago.

Ed;
Good morning to you sir, I hope you're keeping cool enough if you're in Idaho and out of any flooding if you're still in Texas.

We're at $1.55/liter here in the south Okanagan as of yesterday's hike. It appears our daughter in Coquitlam which is the Lower Mainland/Vancouver area is $1.66.

The US exchange rate is $1.24 CDN for $1 USD as of yesterday too.

Diesel is about $1.30 last time I filled up the Cummins.

It's getting a little silly for sure though.

All the best despite the inflationary fuel costs Ed.

My doctor told me, if Americans paid as much as Canadians do for fuel and put the difference toward the national debt, they would be debt free in three years. Don't know where he got this statistic but it is somewhat believable. Never happen though. The difference would go into the abyss which swallows up all funding in Washington (or Ottawa). Carbon taxes add a lot to costs in BC. and accomplish nothing, of course. GD

Dwayne,

Here in Idaho but still in the 90's. It seems that was about what I was paying at peak when we lived there 2004 - 2009 though the price of oil then sort of justified the high cost of gasoline. I recall the exchange rate being at parity or better for a while then.

Lethbridge is $134.9 / litre. Similar to what I recall seeing in Calgary earlier this week.

Most is taxes, which have the GST applied to them. We pay taxes on our taxes.

All that "free" stuff gets expensive when someone has to pay for it...

I can still get it for $1.25 - $1.28 here in Southwestern Ontario, though most areas around us are $1.35.

Thank Slo Joe for it. Direct result of US policies.

After the Covid slow down, there are some profits to be made up.

Headed there later this week and will have to rent a car to visit a buddy in Nanaimo. I’ll go with the economy model, given the ridiculous rental rates.

$127.9 in Medicine Hat/Redcliff. Of course my Ram runs best on Mid grade at $137.9. I tried running reg and premium a few times and found my truck to run poorly, often losing up to 200km/tank.
I only ran the premium because Costco only carries Reg or Premium, of the Premium was cheaper than Mid at Coop where I normally fill. In the long run I don't save anything.
And yep, mostly damn taxes!

When fuel prices climb, I try to do my part by traveling less and buying less fuel. Sadly, much of our social structure is based on the burning of fuel. Long commutes, the by-product of urban sprawl, motorized recreation, industries which have abandoned manpower for diesel power; all of this contributes to higher fuel prices. Of course, the oil companies will tell you they carry the weight of society on their shoulders and their intent is mostly altruistic; profits are just a by-product. In fairness, taxation plays a larger part than ever before as well. GD

Turdo's intention is to raise the cost of energy until demand is reduced.
