So staring with sept long weekend 2016 the weekend before price went up, the week of the long weekend it went down, the week after it went up.

thanks giving 2016 went up the week of the weekend.

We ignore rememberance day even though it was on a Friday
And prices were clearly dropping.

Christmas it went up 3 consecutive weeks so that one is out

So 2016 based on posted data on that chart was 1-1.

Family day went down before and up after
Easter up before down after so 2-2

Victoria Day was the 22 so the Friday before was the 19 which was the lowest price gas that week and the data is not quite clear when the spike occurs but it certainly was after the Friday of the long weekend which was the first driving day of it. So 3-2

Canada Day and August Long weekend obviously went up the week of.

So in your Data posted that you believe conclusively proves your case the score is 4-3 with rememberance Day ignored.

Now you might say but what about May Long it went up on the weekend to which i will say what about Canada Day where it went down on the weekend. Your argument about magnitude is also addressed in the study where it did find the average increase less than 1% higher than the average decrease.

4-3 and your doing a victory lap?

4 out of the weeks you were better off filling up Tuesday and 3 of the weeks you were better off waiting until Friday.
