Maybe you should take a look at refinery outputs and such instead... Cap n Trade as imposed by Obama will increase cost for refinery emission, and is only going to make this even worse.

Besides, every % gain in crude doesn't translate to a % gain in retail gasoline. You should be thankful of that. At $30 a barrel, we were about $0.80, now at $70 a barrel, we are only $1.1.

But hey, there's more than just supply and demand and extraction cost when using oil. We are depleting our future generation's energy stockpile, and also polluting the environment and leaving a mess for the future generations. These future costs have never been priced in. So I agree that we need to put taxes on these. The only thing is that how the tax revenue is used. But that doesn't mean that the tax shouldn't be collected.

Regarding the price discrepency between the US side and CAD side for retail gas. The discrepency have always been there. If we are to whine about it, we really shouldn't need to wait until there's large crude price/large retail price fluctuation. The discrepency didn't really change much despite of the big move, it's just always there..... For reason whether that's justified or not is a totally seperate issue from the fact that crude/gas is going up/down.

In terms of the (almost) ever rising crude oil/gas price, with ever increasing extraction cost, reducing supply, peak oil, etc, it's inevitable that price will go up. Maybe you should look at buying oil stock/oil futures/alternative energy equities, etc to hedge against ur daily fill-ups instead.

Let's Boycott one of the big gas station for a week or something and see what will happen?

Let's Boycott cars , and try to use alternative transportation (specially non taxable one like bike and walk) as much as possible. In my family we use to own 3 cars (4 of us), now it's down to only one flue efficiency car, we've save thousands on insurance , gas and cost of maintenance. And when you get use to it, it's really not that difficult.

Try it, you may love the money you've save more than your car.

You shouldn't drive a car if you can't afford the gas. On the long run the cost will only continue to go up. Econ 101.

In terms of a mass boycott of using gas... that's called $10/L for retail gas.... and only in that scenario will there be any successful boycott of gas happen... because nobody can afford to buy it thus everybody will 'boycott' it LOL. Otherwise it just will never happen LOL.

I have joined the GasBuddy, and help to update gas price every day, I tried to fill up my gas only at the gas station who has the best price. If everyone doing the same thing, the gas station may have to lower the gas price to get their business.

It's true that Campbell is partly responsible as BC has the most heavily taxed gasoline in the country, however, the provincial government is still a much smaller evil compared to Big Oil. Have you seen how much $$$ (and that's profit, not just revenue) Exxon Mobil and other oil and gas giants are making despite the global recession?

Don't know about 10 years... mind to settle for 6?

personally, i don't like to see the oil price goes up because I'm still driving a gas engine car and because our economy is so rely on gas.

However, on the other hand, I want to see more tax & higher gas price, as it will be a motivation for consumer and manufacturer to move away this limited resource, or to make energy efficient engine & machine.

sometimes i just found it amusing to look for cheap gas prices around...if u fill it within the city..the price difference for different stations will only be around 2-3 cents/ L...even u see maybe like 5-10 cents difference if u go to the suburb..the amount of gas you use to drive out and drive back is already there to cover the difference and not to mention the added mileages to you car as well..unless u drive a very fuel efficient car...there is not really much saving tehre actually

As a car owner, we pay expensive gas in Vancouver. As Transportation Company, he enforces his client pay transportation surcharge. As a Client of Transportation Company, she increases the prices of all products and service. End up, a consumer like us have to pay more to buy an apple, a dozen orange or a box of toilet paper.

Who is the loser? Who is the winner?

作者: blue20ae 時間: 2009-7-18 16:17

cure oil is a non-renewal resource. The more we use -> the less on earth -> higher prices.

作者: tiffiant 時間: 2009-7-18 16:37
