Why is the price of gas suddenly back to where it was before the tax came off?
Certainly oil companies would never take advantage of the situation and bring in an increase just because they can. Must be some logical reason , maybe the CEO of a major oil company got heartburn a week ago. That could trigger a price increase at the pumps. Ya that’s likely it.

As per Gas Buddy, averages:
-Calgary: $1.635
-Red Deer: $1.617
-Edmonton: $1.597
-Regina: $1.778
-Saskatoon: $1.785
-Prince George: $2.081
-Kelowna: $2.083
-Abbotsford: $2.086
-Winnipeg: $1.796
Seems like the $0.15-$0.18/L savings in Alberta are still there compared to neighboring provinces.
