and it's not because we haven't changed our prices out here yet... it's like that all the time for some reason... when Calgary was hovering 132... it was 126 out here
A few people have responded but there is only one reason for this ... PCAN refinery in Edmonton is down and has been for a long time. There isn't much gasoline here in Ab/Sk/N BC.

Just another example of dozens of posts around the presumption that oil companies are making up reasons, the reality is that this market is served by 3 refineries, and one has been down for a long time simple as that. In fact to me the correct observation is that it's surprising that they didn't shoot up like this earlier. Economics would dictate they should.
