We're still getting bent over here in Ontario, current avg is 95.9 cents/L with some local major gas retailers in a bit of a war over one another and they've been 88.4

It's become a joke at how bold the gas companies are here to literally just leave the prices to what they want as oil plunges...the excuses being thrown around by "industry experts" (read: oil company spokes people) hold no weight and are always laughable moot point.

I remember one radio convo a few months ago where the guy literally stated the definition of price fixing and then stated "no it's not price fixing, just set to what the market thinks the price should be based on the rest of the market"

What I don't understand is the price of a quart of oil hasn't fallen either. Whats the explanation for that?

$1.65 here in South Jersey.

That's because Alaska is secretly a part of Canada where gas is still almost 4 times as much as in the Continental USA with current exchange rates.

Gas is around $0.899/L in my area right now. Premium is anywhere from 12c to 25c more

^ on the west side of the city premium runs a consistent $0.20 extra per liter. Makes me happy my engine still runs regular fuel.

Although i'd love a premium fuel tune ;)

Toronto's price is 92.9 the past few days, not sure where you found 86.9, but let me know! You can find as low as 83.3 as some local stations seem to be trying to undercharge the other which works out great for the consumer. In the end Toronto isn't much better.

Yup, you can usually find 10 - 15 cents lower per liter out there. The price difference is crazy for such a relatively close proximity

The difference between my town Rigaud at $0.959 and Ottawa $0.769 is almost 0.20. 90km to the outskirts of Ottawa from my place.
