Default Price of gas

Why has the price of gas jumped up in the last couple days. Is it the fr;;;'';; carbon tax?

They haven't made enough billions this quarter, and there is another slow down coming along with a supposed glut of oil/fuel stuck in Canada. We are their only way of increasing profit, so up up up goes prices. It will go up again in spring when farmers need fuel, and up it will go.

Considering in 2008 it was around 1.20 a liter we are lucky it's not double.

I'll take high prices at the pump with jobs happening any day. Let it go up to a buck fifty and families getting work.

The government increased taxes once again. I think they call it a levy, not a tax so they can add gst . Can't tax a tax, how convenient.
