Pete's gas bar at the corner used to set his own prices. They of course were affected by the price he had to pay for it in the first place.

If someone told you that you can go into any of these three businesses BUT the most you can charge for your final product to the public is $1.20/Litre.

2) Bottled water business
3) Oil business

You seem to forget there is no oversight in the oil business. That is why Exxon just reported $10.6 billion in profit for the first quarter of 2011 while prices at the pump keep rising and the cost of crude keeps dropping.
None of the above, If I had a real choice my passion is golf and that is where I would go. I only work in the oil industry because that is where the jobs are in this economic climate.
It is not the gas companies who are gouging us at the pumps, it is the government who puts the tax and tax rate on the gas. The government encourages these oil prices so they can collect more and more from us without seemingly to be the villain. Also allow the oil companies to drill our local oil in order to cut back on oil imports. Develop a true free market and allow the companies to compete within environmental guidelines that doesn't destroy the environment, not what it might do. (if drilling oil is not destroying the environment allow it to proceed, don't stop it because if something that might happen.)
Price of gas is relatively cheap when you compare it to Litre of milk or a Litre of bottled water.
Oil business is a complex business. In the end, gas is cheap. People just can't get their heads around how good they have had it in the past.
Oil will now get more and more expensive, so we better get used to gas being in the $1.50/liter + range in the next yr or so, and it will just keep going up from here over the coming yrs.
That useless tit Trudeau tried that when he bought Petro Canada. It didn't work, they just kept polemic money.
He used our money to but PC, then he sold it to us again when he split it into shares. Canadians really got hosed by this idiot .
That should read "losing money"!!

Hey, maybe we can improve on the stand-up jog that Chavez did!
Socialists don't like that comparison Durry as even they can't justify Starbucks or Perrier as an inalienable human right.
