Refiners (Main ones being IOL, Shell and Suncor) set their price. Distributors then add their margin. This margin is ever shrinking as competition for retail business increases cause commercial business is being destroyed by the low oil prices.
Regular gas is selling for 76.9 cents at the racks (refinery) in Calgary today. Vancouver is paying 83 cents so we don't even have it that bad!
