What's with the price of gasoline???
Yesterday I went across the border and filled up my gas guzzling SUV paying US$2.49 a gallon. I heard on the news the price of gas was up in the lower mainland but when I was driving home at the Esso station it was CAD$1.447 a litre! Using my CA/US gas converter app it says US$2.49 a US gallon converts to CAD$.844 a litre! That conversion takes into account the difference in the litre/gallon and the US/CAD exchange rate. I haven't checked the math so can't say for sure it's 100% accurate, however, I just saved a lot! Now why is gas $.969 in Edmonton? I know we pay a transit and carbon tax but our gasoline prices are ridiculous!!! I realize the price in the UK is much higher but the difference in this country is mind boggling! This retail price chart pretty much says it all.
