^Exactly. Right now a lot of the road use taxes are incorporated into gas prices. The big concern is that when the majority of people switch to EV's they're going to need to implement some other form of road use tax to recoup this funding.

I'm all for defending ICE's but this shit is bananas. | lol, I topped up from 1/4 tank on Wed night. It was at 1.81.

Yes but higher fuel prices = higher prices for everything, delivery, food, Uber. higher prices = more taxes charged on each item. If price of X went from $5 to $10 the gov is charging you taxes on $10 not $5. ??? Profit  Quote:

Is there a reason I am missing for having gas prices measured to the tenth of a penny?

Anyone know why can't Canada produce our own gas? We depend on other countries too much.

Or let all of our companies be bought out by others from other countries like the US

If a global energy crisis is going to convince more regular folks to make the switch to EV, why would the government stand in their way? | We can't switch overnight. The carbon tax on natural gas is going to make heating costs increase, the increased fuel costs will hit groceries, will hit people's savings, etc. This is not going to be good for anybody. And yet Horgan will never get off his ass to help.
If you think the gov has our best interests at heart and the taxes are fair, just remember the carbon tax is subject to GST.

In the current climate where oil companies are busy redefining themselves as energy companies instead of petroleum companies, they mostly consider anything petroleum-related to be part of a sunset industry. And with much of the Western world committing to a new ICE sale ban by 2035-ish, they are not wrong. Essentially, there isn't any interest to invest in new refinery capacity.

Petrocan rack price the price gas stations pay before any taxes in Vancouver is 144.6 https://www.petro-canada.ca/en/business/rack-prices
After adding all taxes gas stationsbarw not making much if anything. https://vancouversun.com/news/local-...line.%E2%80%9D
A couple of years ago we found out some smaller chains and stations where importing a gas from Alberta. They where making a killing. We looked into it and delivery cost was 12.5 cents as litre delivered to our station Nanaimo. The rack price difference was around 40 to 50 cents. Now the difference is around 20 cents. Larger chains where not doing it because the BC government has a limit on how much you could import. I believe the government will be cracking down on this in the next few months.
