Its great, I think! The price of gasoline around here has dropped below $0.90/litre for the first time in a long time (was it before last fall?). After the newly elected Liberal Party dropped the gasoline tax by 3.8 cents per litre, the prices at the pump began to reflect something a bit closer to the way it was. This time last year, I noted that gas was at $1.17, down from $1.41 in September. Currently the prices are between $0.849 and $0.90 per litre, as reported today at various times on New Brunswick Gas Prices dot com.
I hope that this trend continues.
Was watching the news. .70/L in Toronto. Go figure. They’ll make it lower than any place else in the city they’re in where it’s further away from the refinery, but here we are next door to the refinery and we still pay over .90/L.
It doesn’t make sence, does it?
But your right, Good to see them prices lower, but even .90/L is a bit high when you consider the price /Barrel.
$1.98.9 here!
Damn! I wish that I could pay that here. I haven’t seen that price since the early ’90s (unless I gassed up at the store in Houlton, ME).
I saw it yesterday at another place 1.97 Corey, but then there are other places moving it back up a few cents. I wish to hell they’d just pull the water engine out of the closet they have it hidden in and get it over with….
Amen, sister!
$2.14.9 here in NC, at least the cheapest place between here and work. And what Diane says re: the water engine. LOL
My friend’s conspiracy theory is that the republicans are just lowering it until their friends get re-elected in November, and then the prices will shoot up again.
$1.91 here
Take a look at the general trend. Go to http://www.newbrunswickgasprices.com/ and select the chart option for three years. Draw a “best-fit” line for this data. What are the results? What is the data telling us?
The data is telling us that the suppliers are taking advantage of war situations in the Middle East and Southwest Asia to raise prices on their product without basis. The data is telling us that the suppliers in the United States are gouging their fellow citizens. And, it is showing us that the suppliers in Canada are doing the same to us. The tar sands are now an economically viable option but they aren’t being explored.
The biggest thing that it is showing us is that Diane is right and we need the water car!
