knightfisher Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 My cherokee is a gasoholic. These increases sometimes affect distances I will travel to fish. Noon news is saying-----higher prices are being falsely created by refinery shutdowns in US--to decrease supply And we all know the theory bout supply and demand Corporations know we may grumble about prices, but will still buy. They probably have a good laugh around the board table as weekends approach.
BassMan11 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Posted April 17, 2014 The Easter weekend is here. Up another cent from yesterday to 1.389. It might be cheaper for me to drive from Kanata to Ogdensburg fill up and than come back on a regular basis. I know if I was closer to the U.S. not 1 cent of Canadian gas would be going in my tank.
BillM Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 You guys driving gassers have nothing to complain about, I've been paying $1.49 for diesel pretty much all winter.
Sinker Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 You guys driving gassers have nothing to complain about, I've been paying $1.49 for diesel pretty much all winter. Yeah, but you get double the mileage LOL S.
BillM Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Yeah, but you get double the mileage LOL S. In my Jetta yeah, the Duramax not so much, lol!
Rod Caster Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 $1.24 - $1.29 in North Bay today. Lineups.
DRIFTER_016 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 This is what I brought back last time I was in the US. Cost for the bunch $140US. Cost for the same in Yellowknife, $960CAD!!!!!
aplumma Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 Wow I am surprised at the price difference is it the taxes that make it so different ? The healthcare system up North seems to drive the tax/cost of things that can have a negative effect on peoples health up. I know that the cost of tobacco really jumped up down here in the US tax wise using that as an excuse. Art
Burtess Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 Ok....... so I will post again without the "bad word" lol... Buffalo gas on Wedesday $3.879 / Gal, converts to $1.128 CAD / L along with a 1.75 L bottle of Canada Club @ $21 CAD ($60 at LCBO). I think that's better???? Burt You done good Burt thanks for the help Art
lew Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 I paid $1.16 L yesterday on the rez I'm only about 8 miles from a reserve up this way Dave, maybe I should start buying over there.
bushart Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 Tanked up yesterday in Bancroft at an "Esso"------1.11.9 No idea how they sell it so much cheaper without taking a loss----or is everyone else just really put'n the screws to us?? Sidenote:...they shut down refineries in the US to deplete supply----which states the obvious----they have too much So why push so hard for Keystone XL to bring bitumen into Texas-?---gonna fill their swimming pools?? Shareholders really want to know

bushart Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 Maybe the town subsidizes this to bring people in to spend $$---no idea?/ I do know lots of people travel quite far to tank up there plus gas cans Also it helps other Bancroft Biz's---Cuz If I'm there anyway---I pick up Groceries----hit some stores---go out to eat etc
aplumma Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 If this is a plot to gouge Canada it is failing miserable our prices are going up really fast as well. Art
bushart Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 I think it's a plot to gouge the public in general Art----they don't seem to play favorites in inflated bottom lines Without turning this thread sideways-----Today the Pope's Easter message was speaking against greedy businesses---seeing the affect on the world's poor (soon to be us) So it seems to get noticed in many places Again just a note and not turning this into a religious debate

I know that the cost of tobacco really jumped up down here in the US tax wise using that as an excuse. Art Art, as I recall fuel and other prices have always been much higher up north. Not sure of a logical reason, but I am sure with the distances involved transportation costs figure in? Our fuel prices here went up 25 cents in one week, LOL they are probably changing over to the summer blend? I think my daughter that used to live in Rhode Island told me smokes there and in New York City are around 10 bucks a pack? It costs a lot of money to build billionaires sports stadiums? Sin taxes seem to be a method of choice?
Gerritt Posted April 19, 2014 Report Posted April 19, 2014 I try and fill up at the reserve located 10minutes from where I work every chance I get. I average .10 to .40 in savings per litre. G
pics Posted April 19, 2014 Report Posted April 19, 2014 I filled all my spare cans and my truck at 1.16 on the reserve.. I heat the house with scavenged firewood and light it with LED lights.. you have to do what you have to do... next up is arming myself better for the zombie apocalypse....

aplumma Posted April 19, 2014 Report Posted April 19, 2014 The big issues we are facing right now is that the refineries are switching to making gas and the diesel is being purged from the plants. The plants right now while the plant is down are repairing the damage that the cold winter did to the equipment this winter. Our two most Northern plants had more damage done than the Southern plants and are still off line. This is why we get a bump in the spring and fall because we do not have enough places and equipment to produce the refined products that we all use. Art
