I didn't breakdown my answers or thoroughly investigate anything, I am just giving plausible explanations. I can't prove any price fixing in this specific situation, but I know it happens and companies get caught doing it, so its not some unfathomable conspiracy to believe it might be happening here.

Do I have any numbers to back up the difference in diesel? nope, but I haven't seen any either. But I do know my delivery fuel surcharges fluctuate with diesel prices so it is safe to assume that a fuel retailer using a 3rd party truck to deliver fuel would also charge based on their costs. Keep them low, delivery costs are low.

I have a hard time thinking that some ethanol pricing issue affected only Alberta (and Kamloops) at the exact same time as every other province was seeing gasoline prices go down. It continued to the exact point where there was 0 tax rebate flow through, and then, suddenly a few days after the differential is identified prices drop and the tax flow-through is back to 10 cents today. How very convenient.

Could there be other reasons? Sure, but I haven't seen any actual evidence of those either.

If you don't think occam applies, then I can use "if there's smoke, there's fire" or "if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck.. its a duck".

Are you alleging price fixing or that companies are using the tax room created by Kenny to charge more?
