Re: .So why are gas prices still not dropping?
the gas here was about $1.09 a litre around march 1st

now the gas is .83 cents a litre

thats almost a 25% drop in the past couple weeks

^^
however none of this explains why in the mid-90's when a barrel of oil was selling for about $200 a barrel we were paying about .42 cents a litre

and now in the past 10 years or so the barrels of oil are $50 or less & we have been paying over a $1.00 a litre

so it never made any sense.

its just robbery by the oil tycoons.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76649939


I don't know where your getting your facts but from 91 to 2000 oil never made it above 60 dollars a barrel. That would explain your .42 cents a litre.
 Quoting: Sceptictcal theroist.


yes, you are right.
I was thinking around 2008 when it was over $200 a barrel

but the cost of a barrel was still way higher when we were paying .42 cents a litre
then it is when the cost of a barrel was very low like around $33 a barrel

so it still never made any sense.

unless you are the crook who is doing the thieving. then it would make sense to you.

Because the gas you're buying came from oil that had a much higher cost.

Re: .So why are gas prices still not dropping?
45% of all american gas (oil) comes from Canada

and by judging the American prices posted in this thread,, anywhere from $1.80 a gallon to $2.90 a gallon,,
it sounds like Americans are getting Canadian gas cheaper then what Canadians pay for the Canadian gas.

even at the lowest price in Canada in the past 15 years - about .80 cents a liter,,
that still comes to $3.00 a gallon

so if 45% of American gas comes from Canada that clearly proves that Americans get Canadian gas cheaper then what Canadians get Canadian gas for.

Alberta must love America & hate Canada if they sell gas cheaper to Americans then what they sell it to Canadians for. rofl

Clearly.

How much does a pack of cigarettes cost you? They're around $6 here. Cigarettes aren't especially heavy or bulky, so the trucking from Virginia to Canada would be a negligible expense.

Maybe there's a shit ton of taxes on your petrol? Even more than ours?
