OK lets see? I paid $1.02 / litre today(Toronto).

$1 CDN = 85 Cents American
1 Gallon = 3.78 litres
.85 x 3.78 = $3.21 / Gallon

A few weeks ago we were paying 87 cents a litre (you do the math) and the jump was blamed on shortages due to refinery fiascos. Some stations went days without gas! In the end we should all go back to riding bicycles..........lol..........yeah right!! As long as we pay they charge whatever they like.

Why are gas prices surging this early in the year?

Because they got away with it last time... ;)

Sunshine tax
Drivers suffer the mistakes of politicians

UNION-TRIBUNE EDITORIAL
March 15, 2007
Here we go again. Gasoline prices are rocketing higher in California. And this time, there's no Hurricane Katrina or OPEC conspiracy to blame – only politicians.
Now Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has ordered blending with expensive biofuels by 2020. This grand experiment could stretch supplies – or worsen shortages.
Congress must put a stop to this, with a single national fuel standard. And state lawmakers must expand ports for gasoline imports. Only through robust competition will drivers get a fair shake in California.

Orrr people could just move out of California and pay less elsewhere!
