so being in the states for the last few days I've seen a DRAMATIC drop in gas prices/gallon...yet from my friends in Toronto, it seems that they are still in the sky on the prices...anyone care to explain? is it really taxes?

I remember gas being 3.89/gallon and now today I got a tank at 3.40/gallon...
 
Canadians are much more sheepish.

The American consumer won't put up with half the shit a Canadian one will.
 
its 3.39/gallon this morning at the station closest to my residence here in the US....

with the talk of pending hurricanes, I expected a steep increase, yet nothing. I know the minute I cross into windsor and head back to Toronto its going to be like entering some twilight zone...I read that liberal MP link but still, i know its been discussed to ad nauseum but what the fuck!? lol...
 
There's an article in the sun online today about that and there was a quote that stated that the gas in the station's tanks was produced at the higher crude oil rate therefore they have to deplete that stock before the lower priced oil/gas reaches the pumps.

I wrote to the author and called the BULLSHIT card because when crude goes up, gas immediately goes up, not months in the future. Yet when crude goes down, gas doesn't.....

Take Katrina for example: when it hit NOLA gas immediately jumped what, 20 cents per litre? I don't know about you guys but there is NO fricken way gasoline produced in NOLA after Katrina hit was delivered to our gas stations in 2.1 milliseconds......it just isn't physically possible.
