What are you guys paying for gas in calgary?? or wherever you are

Evil oil companies.

I wish the price would stabilize....or OPEC is going to cut production soon, and send the price of oil through the roof again.

And I'm not positive about this instance but I do know how gasoline could be cheaper in Ottawa than Calgary.

Firstly though, curious if you could tell me why you'd expect crude to be cheaper in Calgary.

I would be curious to know who on the CP forum would even be buying crude..???

Even though we have refineries in Alberta most of it (crude and bituman) still gets exported.
We do not have the capacity to process all the crude that comes out of the ground or upgrade all of the bituman from the oilsands.

Personally I like an all natural lubricant. Never been a fan of those "store bought" ones. I keep it in a barrel by the bed.

You just got to time it properly.

It could go to $50/bbl before it starts shooting up again.

After the price change on Thursday morning and giving the stations time to settle on a price in the range they are allowed to charge, the price is $0.97-0.98 this morning (depending on the station).

It's around 87.5 in Ottawa today

[habernac]

84.9 at Fas Gas on Northmount

[nickerjones]

hate to bring up an old thread but we just brok the 1.70 barrier.... i just got gas for $1.67 a gallon so that roughly 42 cents a litre...

[HOOT]

95.9/L in Victoria now...I'm actually shocked! I thought it would sit at just over a $1 as long as it could here.

OK thanks. So a few things:

Southern Ontario and Montreal have plenty of refineries

Refineries in Edmonton have not been performing well lately

Alberta oil is priced vs WTI

All montreal and maybe a third of S ontario crude is priced vs Brent.

Transport of crude to Montreal is much cheaper than you'd think, by vessel you'd be surprised how cheap it is.

Individual grades of crude go up and down vs WTI or Brent


So once in a while gasoline can be cheaper in say S Ontario or Quebec because grades that are run out east can be cheaper than the grades run in the west ... so input costs can be less. Further each market can have it's own supply / demand dynamics. Right now, the praries are very short gasoline and diesel because of local refining problems. So it is reasonable that once in a while gasoline is cheaper out east.

I don't understand your question.

sooo the compaines are evil ... but a price increase is OPEC's fault. OK.

Wow, that's cheap. I was excited to fill my car up for 2.69 at the beginning of the week. That was premium gas, which I run through my car once per month, but even regular was still 2.49.

[Coach]

Ive seen 83.9 at a few places around

[Displaced Flames fan]

$1.81 here in Wichita.

The local media continues to say we have the cheapest gas in the country, but obviously a couple of hours south is consistantly cheaper!

[Torture]

I filled my tank for less than $40 the other day at the Brentwood Co-op!

It was 85.4, I love it!

[metallicat]

Pretty close to empty in my car today, it cost me 34 dollars to fill up. 79.something per litre, here in Edmonton.
