$1.70 a litre in BC

...and with the Canadian dollar trading about a third below what it could or should be, and with the likelihood it will drop much further over the next couple years as our debt based economy crumbles.

but at least we are not Venezuela or Iran or Iraq or Libya or Syria or Afghanistan.

Funny how it is more expensive in Oceanside and yet Courtenay's gas is trucked right past us. Same for Tofino. Courtenay has the advantage of having Costco gas to bring the price down.

Politicians . Should start the second sentence.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh poor pgs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Do you REALLY THINK that correcting the BEGINNING word of the sentence will clarify a TOTALLY SCREWED UP STATEMENT????????????????


You seem not to have noticed that LIE-beral politicians - and their NDP idiot cousins HAVE BECOME THE ENEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals have BOUGHT AND BRIBED their way to power in an GROTESQUE conflict of interest with our civil service union HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


With idiot NDPers and Green party Airheads emulating LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Which is why Horvath NDP is the official opposition now in Ontari-owe- HOGS have decided they have a better chance of grabbing



gravy with Horvath that with LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And now the formerly Silent Majority of Cdns have been so goaded and insulted by LIE-berals that they are FORCING GOVT TO CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Over 85 percent of Cdns now live in provinces run by Conservative minded govts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Justin Trudope is running the most costly and wasteful govt in Cdn history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-beral Kathleen Wynne-bag drove Ontari-owe into BANKRUPTCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ontari-owe is now the most indebted province on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Alberta is facing huge debts thanks to NDP tax and spend madness under Notley...........................................................


AND Alberta is facing provincial Bankruptcy unless Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals get out of the way and allow pipelines to be



built so that Kenny and Alberta can resume exporting the one product that the province can produce at high enough profit that Kenney



has a good chance to AVOID economic DISASTER in that province!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



For Alberta the added BONUS is that increased sanctions on Iran will make it harder for Iran to sell its oil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And thus Alberta oil will be more in demand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


With the FURTHER ADDED BONUS that a lot of people around the world would rather buy oil from friendly Cdns than from Radical Islamic Clerics in Iran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Cdn oil is PREFERRED BY MANY ............................................................


simply because we use oil revenue for Health Care...................................................


instead of buying weapons to threaten our neighbours with................................................................


as Russians and Iranians do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, that's just a hop, skip, jump and ferry ride for YVRers to get all that cheap gas!

I think it shows how much bullshit there is going on.

I wonder if there's an answer to this grand mystery?


Perhaps it has something to do with Horgan's brilliant thoughts on building another refinery in the lower mainland

What grand mystery?

We're getting screwed on gas like we always do.

But...but...but... global warming. Man, for a guy who's all for carbon taxes you sure are pissy about the price of gas in BC. You should be happy prices are that high, you're saving the planet. :lol:

No simple answers for high B.C. gas prices or impact of pipeline, NEB says

There's no easy explanation for why B.C.'s gas prices are so much higher than the rest of Canada, or what will happen to them if the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion goes ahead, according to the National Energy Board's chief economist.
The NEB released a snapshot of the issue Wednesday, breaking down the elements that have driven up the price at the pumps in B.C.
"It's a combination of numerous factors," chief economist Jean-Denis Charlebois told CBC. "One factor is that we're approaching the summer driving season. This means demand is increasing."

Another is the fact that B.C. depends on the Cherry Point Refinery in Washington State for much of its gas, and the exchange rate has recently been less than favourable.
According to the NEB's summary, the four major components that make up the price of gasoline include:
The cost of crude oil: averages 51 cents per litre in Vancouver, or 10 per cent below the Canadian average.
Refining costs: averages 52.1 cents per litre in Vancouver, or about double the national average. This includes all the expenses involved in bringing crude from a wellhead to a refinery, and then completing the refining process.
Marketing margin: averages 10.5 cents per litre, about 69 per cent higher than the rest of Canada. This includes all costs for getting the refined product to the consumer, including transportation, marketing and profit.
Taxes: averages 53.9 cents per litre in Vancouver, or 21 per cent more than the national average.
Charlebois said the NEB has not broken down the various pieces that make up each of these four components to see how they compare in B.C. That means, for example, that he has not analyzed how the average profit margins for gas stations differ across the country.
As for one of the most contested questions in Western Canada, Charlebois said gas prices could go either way if the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project is completed as planned.
"If the extension is approved and built … this will increase capacity and directionally will allow more gasoline to flow from Alberta to B.C., thereby increasing supply and putting downward pressure on prices," he said.
But at the same time, "it will provide Canadian producers greater access to international markets, thereby putting upward pressure on prices of crude oil. How those two forces will net out remains to be seen."

Take your own advice Hoid buy electric, or was that your car that Taxslave reported on in the other thread?

The gas arrives in Vancouver - is shipped over to the island and sold for less.

That makes complete sense.

The island does not pay the 10 cent per litre hydro levy . The GST is applied after the hydro levy , a tax on a tax .
