I just gassed up with premium today, and the price was $4.95/gallon CAD (which converts to about $4.42 USD). In Europe the prices are about double that. How would you like to be paying around $8 to $9 per gallon like most other countries? Consider yourselves blessed to have such low prices.

It's all taxes and while it sucks for you, knowing that it's so much more expensive in Canada or Europe doesn't make me feel better. My point is that from state to state there can be huge differences in prices. California is always fed the line that it's due to the additives mandated by CARB and most recently the explanation has been "refinery issues". I find that very hard to believe when one gas station on the border of CA and one on the border of AZ, which are right next to each other, can have such a big price discrepancy. It's all oil company BS. I would say that Petro Canada, et al are up to the same shenanigans to boost revenue.
