anonymous gas attendant called in and said because of the impending canada day holiday with everyone taking time off for the rest of the week... the plan is to jack prices up to $1.40/L

On the other hand, TV said tomorrow (July 1) is the phase 2 of the Carbon TAX.
Gas Price in BC will go up 50 per cent

You didnt word that very well. The way you worded it I thought you were trying to say the actual price of gas will go up by 50%. Its just the carbon tax.
So an extra 1.2 cents a litre

ilvtofu 06-30-2009 09:57 AM

^LMFAO 1.2 cents compared to 50 cents per litre, talk about error there!

I was there on Saturday. The Cheveron had 92 for $0.919 / L. 87 was $0.879 / L.

I'm going back on wednesday to pickup some tires, hopefully gas is still this cheap. But then again, the total difference is only around $4.00 cdn.

I'm pretty sure the same thing will happen where we hit close to $1.50/litre
There was an article posted here on RS too, summer = when everyone wants to drive, demand > supply, so higher prices

shenmecar 06-30-2009 12:00 PM

OKAY!!!!!!! !!

There is WAY more to it than that... I don't know all the details, but I can tell you that there is no reason to believe it will get anywhere close to $1.50/L again this summer.

Look at the chart of price of crude oil:

What happened in 2007 was a huge anomoly, and I can tell you that it wasn't just because of higher demand because of summer driving!

At this moment, it's still half the price of where it was last year... and unless you see it skyrocketing again in the next couple weeks, I can't see how you can expect there to be $1.50/L prices again this summer.
