Went to Chatham, Ontario yesterday, 69 cents at the Shell on Keil Drive. The Esso a block away was 74 cents. I pity the fool actually getting gas at Esso, it wasn't that busy at Shell!

Hamilton gas at 68 cents
Four-year low at the pumps

Drivers are enjoying an early Christmas gift this morning as the price at the pump dropped again overnight to a level not seen since 2004.

Many stations in the city are selling gas at 68 cents a litre for regular unleaded.

This drop of a few pennies from yesterday was predicted by Liberal MP Dan McTeague who credited “a wholesale/refinery price difference from the benchmark WTI crude/NYMEX gasoline market” for the tumble.

Oil prices have been on an extraordinary roller coaster ride this year.

During the summer, the price per barrel hit an all time high over $145, only to fall steadily since.

Oil closed under $40/barrel yesterday as concerns of a global economic downturn may reduce the demand.

[DrJoe]

63.6 in Cobourg. I've noticed some of the cheapest gas in Ontario can be found here for whatever reason.

[harls]

62.9 just east of Ottawa today, says ottawagasprices.com.

Still 72.9 in Aylmer.. been like this for a couple of weeks now.

[vid]

87 cent average up here. It's 94.9 in Atikokan. The Thunder Bay-Fort Frances corridor has the highest gas price in the country. Newfoundland's highest price is our average.

[Denscity]

Down 3 cents to 78.9

Gas prices drop to 66 cents

Hamilton residents are getting a belated Christmas present - a price drop at the gas pumps.

Prices have fallen to 65 and 66 cents per litre. They're likely to stay low until after New Years.

A number of gas stations in the Toronto area ran out of fuel yesterday, the lingering result of a series of snowstorms that walloped the city earlier this week. Daily refills were cancelled after a series of storms snarled delivery efforts, affecting gas stations throughout the city.

Also 66 cents in London today. Except the one station near my house which is 69.9. Still better than Montreal.

68.9 in Moncton

75.4 still too high

[Greco Roman]

75.4 still too high

Really? I am quite thankful for what the prices are now, thank you very much. In all honesty, I'm always thankful when gas is under $1 considering what they have reached. Once it goes above this price, then I start to get a little testy.

[Nicko999]

It's too high considering oil is 37$

[Greco Roman]

It's too high considering oil is 37$

Well, you could spend your time complaining about 60-80 cents being too high, or you can just enjoy it while it lasts, before the big Oil execs decide to jack the price up back to near $1.50/litre and then start to complain that you wish the gas was back down to around 60-80 cents/litre.

I choose option a.

[mersar]

You have to love the local gas stations prices for diesel. One is 89.9/L, the other 98.9/L... their reasoning for the difference: "there is no competition, so we do what we want"

[SpongeG]

soem stations here were running out of gas the other day - christmas day - the stations said 00.0 for the price and the pumps were closed

the delivery trucks couldn't get to the stations due to the weather

so it was surprising that the places that did have gas didn't jack the price up they kept the prices low

[Nicko999]

70.9 is the lowest price I saw today!

[SpongeG]

75.9 just now

[mersar]

Calgary's down to the mid to high 60's now, couple down closer to 62 cents.

[vid]

Gas is finally averaging below 85c here. I sure hope some of that is going to taxes so that we at least get something out of it! This is really getting ridiculous. Some places in Southern Ontario are below 60 cents.

They say the price is higher because of the distance. Well it's 20 cents less in Kenora and Rainy River and that's only two hours away! It's like there is a magic 20c per litre added cost as soon as you turn onto 102.

[SpongeG]

it was 78.6 around 12:20 am

[MolsonExport]

65.2 here

According to Google maps, Rainy River is over 4 hours and Kenora is over 6 hours away from Thunder Bay. That is quite a large distance. Both are also closer to large urban centres than Thunder Bay. It seems to me that you whine for no reason.

[SpongeG]

78.5 this afternoon

[MolsonExport]

Went up 5 cents over the day yesterday.

[samne]

I drive out to the burbs for work. Saving about $80/mo. on gas now.

[Nicko999]

It was 67.4 yesterday but since it's New Year Eve, the price went up to 78.4 today. Nice present to the drivers:haha:

wtf?

[Rathgrith]

E85 (Ethanol) is 72.5 cents in Ottawa. I filled up with E85 today as opposed to regular gas (70.5). Unlike you guys, I am doing what I can to NOT rape the environment, as opposed to you godless environmental rapists. ;)

Speaking of, where are some other E85 stations in Canada? So far, I know of three: (two in Ottawa and one near Guelph).

[Nicko999]

why is everywhere else so cheap?

snow expensive gas, broken down transit - oh what a joy this vancouver be

[feepa]

higher gas taxes in GVRD

[SpongeG]

yeah but it was cheaper a couple weeks ago - like under 75 cents

the rest of the country didn't seem to shoot up as much as we have in the same time period

[vid]

It's the same price in Northwestern Ontario and our gas taxes are equal to Toronto and the rest of the province. We're paying 85 cents and they're paying 60. It doesn't add up.

[feepa]

wheres the closest refinery to you Vid?

[vid]

Probably Sarnia or somewhere in Alberta. They use that as their excuse but the difference between Thunder Bay and Kenora is too great. As soon as it cross the magic boundary between the two districts the price goes up 20 cents.

http://www.ontariogasprices.com/Price_By_County.aspx?state=ON&c=can

In the summer, we get gas by boat from Sarnia and by train from Alberta. In the winter, we only get it by train from Alberta. But so does Kenora. Why is Kenora so much cheaper? (Especially considering that more than a quarter of its population lives in communities accessible only by air, where gas costs about 5$ a litre and milk is just a dream.)

[Rathgrith]

You are bragging that you filled up on Ethanol, but yet, you only know of three places to get it? Don't call us environmental rapists when we don't have any choice in what to run our cars on.

Well, I was hoping that my winking smiley would have tipped the sarcastically challenged (such as yourself) to note that I was being...um....sarcastic in my bragging. The reason I have a E85 car is not so much because for the environment but rather that humans should diversify the fuels they use for motor vehicles.

I am interested to know if Canada has more ethanol fueling stations stations in the rest of Canada. I cannot find any on the internet so I was hoping that users would know more.

[vid]

As an "environmentalist", I would rather we used oil than ethanol, considering ethanol takes too many resources away from the food supply. Oil for cars. Corn for people.

[Rathgrith]

^Ethanol does not always come from corn. Wood chips work well too.

[Greco Roman]

Gas just went up 5 cents to 75.9 here in Edmonton.

[canlefty]

^Ethanol does not always come from corn. Wood chips work well too.

...which, like corn, is grown from incident solar energy on the earth. Given an average (and should I mention, limited by area) solar intensity of 100 - 200 W/m^2 -- fuels from biomass take away land area which would otherwise be used for food stock.

It is important to look at the Environment and Energy as a COMPLETE system.

[Nicko999]

Up today to ... 84.4:rolleyes:

[SpongeG]

was 83.9 just now

ethanol can also be made from sugar cane leftovers

[harls]

mmm sugar.

69.9 in Aylmer. On the other side of the city (old city of Gatineau), it's 79.9. that's quite a difference. I think that gasprices.com website needs some sort of Quality control, because that don't sound quite right...

[viperred88]

it was 59 cents in Dryden Ontario this morning.

yeah unbelievable, I haven't seen prices like that since the '90

[mylesmalley]

rumor is, gas is going up 9 cents tonight in NB.
still, considering it's down to 65.9 at some stations, 9 cents isn't exactly going to break the bank.

[mersar]

Was 69 yesterday at most stations in Cochrane, 1 raised to 71. Today all the others are 71, and the one that raised yesterday did again, to 73.

[vid]

it was 59 cents in Dryden Ontario this morning.

79.5 to 88.4 in Thunder Bay, which is the next city east of Dryden. :rolleyes:

"It's the distance from the refinery!!! :rant:" I'm glad I don't have a car.

[MolsonExport]

79.8 today; 64.5 10 days ago.

Spot price $US/barrel: 35.99(Dec 26) 34.80 (Jan 2)

No price manipulation? Yeah, we believe you.

[vid]

It takes six months for a barrel of oil to be refined into gasoline, from the time its purchased by the oil company.

They also say that prices are lower in places with more competition. I guess Dryden (7,800 people and dropping every day) has more competition than Thunder Bay (which is actually growing, albeit very slowly).

[Nicko999]

79.4 today

[MolsonExport]

74.5 here.

I saw that too :(

There's still some 85's around but looks like the 70's are gone again...

[Metro-One]

the funny thing is the price of gas should still be decreasing to meet the same ration in price of what we had a few years ago in L of gas to barrel of oil. Anyone else notice this :rolleyes:

So funny how slow the price of gas is to fall yet so quick to rise, it is almost as if oil companies have it both ways...

[harls]

Oil dipped below the $40/barrel mark.. I guess the price should be going down a bit now..

[Nicko999]

71.4 today in Montreal

and guess what...

if Ottawa were on that list, it'd be lowest.

[Sony500]

74.9 in Moncton, NB. Price jumped up 9 cents per litre last week. Now that the price of crude oil is back down below 40 dollars per barrel, should be interesting to see what they do on regulation day, which is Thursday.

[youngregina]

77.9 in regina..

[entheosfog]

I saw an 86 in North Van today. That seems to be the lowest around these parts these days...

[mersar]

Saw 83.9 in northwest Calgary tonight. Still low 70's in Cochrane though.

[Nicko999]

82.4 in Montreal

81.4 in London.

Assholic games being played by the oil cos.

"It's cold! Let's raise the price!"
"It's the weekend! Let's raise the price!"
"Nobody is looking! Let's raise the price!"
"What, could that be a hurricane forming in the gulf? Better raise the price!"
"We're assholes! Let's raise the price!"
"Nickelback is on the radio! Time to raise the price!"

74 or so here in Fredericton :D

Went from 76 to 86 in about two hours yesterday morning. Highest price is 89.4 at the Husky truck stop.

[Nicko999]

80.4 in Montreal

[Metro-One]

Somehow oil is at a 5 year low yet the pumps are still rising in Van, is 94.9 today. Those oil companies sure are magical with their prices! Oil is less than 1/4 the price a barrel it was in the summer, so should it not be roughly 1/4 the price at the pumps? Now i do know the age old excuse that it takes a while for prices to fall, so then why is it so quick for prices to rise?

[Greco Roman]

Here it is straight up:

Oil producers are nothing but a bunch of greedy, selfish, lying, scumbag sacks of shit pigs who will do and say anything to get the most money out of us. Yes, they are businessmen and I guess that is to be expected. But still, they enjoy screwing all of us time and time again.

Oil producers, you are nothing but a bunch of fucking assholes!

[Nicko999]

What a crazy gas market Montreal is! An Esso station showing 90.4 while everyone else shows 79.4.
1 hour later the Esso station is showing 74.9 and the others followed.

Is he wrong? Oil has reached a new record low and keeps dropping, and yet gas and diesel are on the rise. How does this make sense? Can't really blame people for being mad.

[canlefty]

Is he wrong? Oil has reached a new record low and keeps dropping, and yet gas and diesel are on the rise. How does this make sense? Can't really blame people for being mad.

His complaint was about oil producers. If he was mad at the refining/marketing operations, then his point would be slightly so more valid.

There is a big problem with "industry outsiders" who don't understand the complete system of an integrated operation, including the inherent volatility in refining differentials.

[Metro-One]

My father has been working in management at Petro-Canada for over 30 years and he ensures me that the current prices are over inflated bullshit right now. Also this "complex" system still does not *legitimately* explain why when the price of oil increases, the price of gas increases with it immediately, yet when the price goes down, it takes weeks and months to fall. It is called a monopoly, having it both ways, etc... Sure they give us dumb ass excuses and what you just said with the *but it is so technical* bull shit.

In 2003 the price of gas was 72 cents/liter. The price of oil was $27/barrel.
In 2008 the price of gas was 1.30/liter. The price of oil was $122.

Shouldn't gas have costed $3.25 a liter last summer?

Same logic. (Faulty logic too)

[Nicko999]

85.4 today

[Greco Roman]

I'm still waiting for a logical explanation from someone in the oil and gas field as to why prices are rising at the pump yet oil prices are at an all time low.

My thoughts; oil companies have been used to these higher prices for the last decade or so, and are unwilling to give up any kind of profits and return back to the supply and demand regime. It's like someone going from a salary of $50,000/yr to $200,000 in 10 years, and then they are told their salary is being cut back down to $50,000/yr. They just aren't willing to go back to making less.

In other words; pure and utter greed.

Oh, and before anyone goes and says "well would you want to take that pay cut?", you know exactly the point that I'm getting at, so don't bother to twist my words around. Thanks.

[worldwide]

with your guys logic, if oil were $1 a barrel then a liter would cost 1 cent. there are costs involved with production and in the supply chain. changes in price per barrel and price per liter are never going to be a 1:1 ratio

i'm glad the prices haven't gone down as much as you guys want. and in all seriousness i cant wait until the price goes back up to 2008 levels, or higher. our outrageous car culture needs to get cut down a bit.
