Are prices falling in your area?
In Regina we are down to 110.9L at the lowest priced station.
How about you?

Soon we'll see fuel back under 80 cents/L and the economy will boom in the dead parts of the country.

You can't get the good hi-octane stuff in Squish?
It's going to keep dropping and dropping and dropping as more and more domestic Nor Am oil is produced and projects underway compete in very short order.
Any Chance you are a gambling man?

Re: Cheaper gasoline.
Nov 8th, 2012The dedicated tax on clear gasoline and clear diesel fuel sold inside the South Coast British Columbia transportation service region (SCTA) is 17¢ per litre. (TransLink increased the rate from 15¢ to 17¢ per litre effective April 1, 2012.)
It's still cheaper to drive than use Translink. Who is benefitting other than Translink?
It's 111.9- 114.9 in Mission

$1.199 in Qualicum Beach.$1.189 in Nanaimo A couple of days ago it was !.089 in Courtnay. We usually pay a little more because we got more rich retirees.

32+ more free hours per month. If that time was spent on the highway a 100km/h, it would be like driving to Regina and back to Vancouver every month on a crowded, disease laden, loud, uncomfortable city bus.
