How come gas prices are still sitting at summer high levels and you never hear anything about it anymore?

[Greenstoner]

1.22 in the morning at many places

its so fucked up. i hope my salary goes up in the same rate as gas price

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

you aint in pain unless u are filling 94
:woot2:

[g_spyder91]

I'm sticking with the manufacturers recommendation of 91 Octane for the sake of my wallet.

1.50 was bad

i heard its only BC tho


Toronto is like paying 1 buck per liter

[xpl0sive]

gas prices are high in the states as well. i went down a few days ago and it was like 3.49 in Blaine... That's almost $1/liter compared to like 80c/liter a few months ago....

[tool001]

the reason why nobody complains about it, because the alternative; ie translink is unreliable and expensive

[gdoh]

we are just to use to getting shafted

[TouringTeg]

people get used to the price over time

Bc residents get used to prices instantly, the rest of the world cause a rukus. That's why our prices are always insane.

[TheNewGirl]

Wait till this summer, we're expected to break 1.50 a liter :(

[Armind]

[hirevtuner]

price gouging and oil companies are raking in record revenues

[kyoshiro]

USD being all time low, Oil being traded in USD, Canada exports oil, etc
so in teh end even with high exchange rates, we're still jipped cuz we're Canada!
USD needs to gets on its legs and not give me god damn on par cuz I have savings in USD

It's not all of Canada, it's usually the people of BC that get ripped off.

They teased us at 1.50 before now they're really gonna give it to us if not more.

i don't think anyone has 94 anymore?


i'm in toronto and its like 93 cents right now.

[gdoh]

i dont even bother watching oil and gas prices on the market anymore because they dont reflect the at all even when they have millions of barrels stored =|

abbotsford usually has cheaper gas. if im not mistaken i think there is an extra tax or something for stations within the GVRD

that $100+ government climate-change cheque you got in the mail recently? the rest of the world didn't get that either

prices in BC are generally higher because we have stiff carbon taxes included in the price of fuel

he meant 94 octane

[kyoshiro]

dont take away my chevron 94, i dont want ethanol junk in my engine!

[fsy82]

i just got back from new zealand and the gas price for the cheapest octane is $2.00 bucks a litre..after seeing that i stopped complaining about our prices..lol

[corollagtSr5]

shell has no ethanol in their v-power 91 octane

That 100 bucks covers 4 weeks worth of gas. If you live in richmond and rarely go out that is. Other than that it would prob last you 2 weeks tops on regular too. Anything higher its 1 and a half week?

[taylor192]

Oil is over $90 a barrel, so gas prices will creep higher.

The increase in gas has cost me ~10% on ~$1500/yr, so $150 if this continues for an entire year. The resource funds in my portfolio are up $5K in the past few months. You do the math.

Thus if you want to protect yourself from higher gas prices, bet with them and invest. Bring on higher oil prices!

That isn't quite correct. If you're gonna compare it like that you need to calculate how much $100 covers for the difference in the gas price between us and provinces with no carbon tax.

[InvisibleSoul]

How come gas prices are still sitting at summer high levels and you never hear anything about it anymore?
Because eventually people realized that complaining does squat?

[skyxx]

Because Gas will be 1.50 cents for regular in the summer. :)

[gars]

I know this isn't the case on the west coast of the USA - but on the East Coast, there are a million toll highways and bridges. Their gas may be cheaper, but it costs a whole lot more to be driving on the roads. The tax on our gas helps pay to build and maintain our roads (Plus the transit tax, but that's a whole other box of worms)

[skyxx]

^Shhh don't talk about transit tax, people will go ape shit here.

It's all part of BP's plan. Spill oil. Jack up prices. Profit!

:facepalm:

its supposed to be an equalization payment, not a "here's $100 to buy gas with for the rest of your life" cheque

its intent is to punish people who use alot of fuel and reward those who don't

WRONG. Time to invest in oil stocks

i was in toronto last summer, gas was like .97

[HondaGuy]

Read online reports that gas this summer should be a lot higher than 1.50... (Property Tax going up too for any homeowners)
Damn, that means chevron 94 will be like $2 or close enough.

I always wondered if Chevron 94 was gone (god forbid)...which station would have just as good gas with no ethanol? Shell?

Thx

[kyoshiro]

black gold as oil was called
but 4 cylinder not good enough, u need a 4 cylinder with TURBO

[tool001]

TO gas prices arealways .20-.30 behind vancouver, plus booze is cheaper in TO also, by alot :S

taylor. stfu about ur portfolio.nobody cares..

[Skyline350gt]

Coming from a 1.6 to a 3.5L, I seem to putting in 20 dollars every 2 days.

and 25 dollars on 91 octane only puts a quarter mark on the gauge.

I can't imagine the turbos cars and the trucks out there =S

ah icic
but yea even if the car recommends 87 in HK, you have to go 91 cuz the govt doesnt import em anymorez lol
they say theres a 2billion lose in moneys from inefficiencies

[Minata]

gas is at least 10 cents cheaper on the east coast.

[Mananetwork]

We have no say to the price of gas. We can't just write a complaint about this, I wish it was that easy. They price it, we pay it. Use transit, ride a bike, buy a fuel efficient car or keep paying it.

I try to carpool and take transit when I seriously don't need to use the car.

truth

by buying up resource mutual funds, you're acting as a speculator driving up oil prices

but from taylor's point of view, as a rational person, obviously if theres personal profit to be made, who the fck cares abt higher gas prices :fullofwin:

[shenmecar]

time to get Costco Amex with 2% cashback on gas.

MBNA Smartcash Mastercard has 5% Cashback with gas stations for first 6 months, then 3% afterwards.

This card comes in handy at times like these. But i really wished it weren't the case.

[bloodmack]

wow you guys got it rough.. its about 1.18 - 1.22 for 91, 1.07 for regular fuel right now..

lolllllll
it does end up to be atleast 91 octane because anything lower the govt said nou
so never buy I-4s without high compression in HK else you're losing mileage

If this were true I wouldn't mind higher gas prices, at least then I could justify it then. Heck, i'd welcome it.

What I don't welcome though, is Translink taking the money and then not doing anything really productive with it

[blee123]

sorry to bump this old thread but does anyone know if "husky" still has those coupons where u get $2 off gas or something? i Havent filled up there in a while so i'm just wondering. I tried looking them up but seems like there isnt any rescent ones.

Does any other gas companies have these sorts of coupons other than Husky?

I will be giving out thanks for anyone who has some insight on this issue.

:thumbs:

[UFO]

Nope, no more Husky coupons, there haven't been in like a year. The year that they were available, I had a whole stack ready to go in my car filling up 25L at a time.

I usually get gas at Superstore now. 3.5c/L back in Superbucks, 1% back on my MC.
