Oh, the fuckers do worse than that.
but what really pisses me off is the games. They'll run it up 10% in one shot, and then walk it back down a cent per day or so, until it's almost back to where it was, and then shove it up the 10% again. I know why. People are stupid. When it's .90 and they shove it up to $1, people get pissed. but then when they bring it back down to .95, everyone acts as though they just got a present. Bait and switch they used to call it.
If they want/need more profits, jsut set the fucking price to something fair to all, and fuck off already. Enough of the fucking games. I don't mind paying a fair profit. I'm not even all that against paying an exorbitant profit. But enough already. We already know the average Joe is an idiot. We don't need to see half mile lines at the cheap stations when half the stations run it up.
If should be noted that there aren't any independant stations in Quebec anymore. So there's no flexibility in the prices. They all come from the refinery.

It is a BIT cheaper here in Ontario, I remember when I was in alberta it was cheaper but not by as much as I thought it would be, ubtil they all explained you get 3 cents off at the pump, if it was listed at 87 you only payed 84. (and the more north you went the cheaper it got)

Not quite but close, ease the restrictions on drilling in Alaska then dedicate at least 80% of the oil pumped to American use ONLY and then shut off the spigate from Iran and Venezuela. If those two countries don't have the oil money then any threats will evaporate...

That's how the price will really go down. Their greed will make it so expensive to drive that people stop driving so much, the demand drops and the price falls like a rock. I'm not sure what the critical figure will be but I'm betting it'll be less than five bucks a gallon.

Five bucks/gal will royally screw everyone over wether they drive or not. Those semis getting 5mpg bring the bread and butter to the store have to recoup their costs somehow. Comsumer goods will be shooting up at least 5% to cover the cost of doing business.

we missed the boat
the US, Europe and Japan should have made a major effort to develop alternative fuels/energy, then the US could have taken all that tabacco settlement money and used it to start revamping/replacing the current fuel infrastructure with the new technology(ies).
