Come in Quebec, it's even higher.
1.20 per liter for 91 octane last time i've put 50$ in my SC... 2/3 of a tank.
Horses need gas.
believe me i know all about quebecs gas prices, i live literally 10 minutes from la belle province.
anyways, back to the subject at hand. just to throw a few ideas out there:
fact: from what 'they' have told us; between the u.s. and canada there is more oil than all the other places in the world put together.
fact: majority of north americas 'foreign oil' is from canada, yet the volatile situation in the middle east causes dramatic swings in oil prices.
fact: the price of gasoline and diesel fluctuate hourly. but the price of a quart of oil hasnt moved in years.
fact: the prices of gasoline fluctuate even when the variables of gasolines supply and demand arent being traded (ie. at this minute the worlds stock markets are closed but the gas station at the top of my street is still changing its prices)
fact: BMW currently have a hydrogen powered car that can be mass produced, but theyre holding it back because the worlds governments are refusing to give BMW the incentives that are given to their hybrid producing counterparts.
fact: any car currently on the road with proper computer tuning can run on uber cheap to produce (you can literally make it yourself) ethanol.
fact: the worlds governments make billions and billions of dollars from the sale of gasoline.
i cant say fact for what im going to say next because it isnt, just an opinion ive formed myself from reading everything i have on the subject. anyways, think about it like this, in the middle east we have people who will crash planes into our buildings, bomb our subways, etc. when were helping to prop their economy up, what do you think the ramifications would be if we decided to pull all of our money out of their countries???
i honestly think this is all a combination of oil companies milking consumers for gas money while they still can and our governments sitting on their hands in the interest of not worsening an already bad situation in the middle east.
of course thats just my opinion and what do i know?
