(6,129 posts)1. A lot of Americans have no idea that the rest of the world exists.
Or how gas companies work or how prices are set.
I personally think prices go up when a company executive needs a new yacht. (Just saying)

Although our premier just announced a $110 rebate for every driver.
At $1.95CA/litre, about 45 cents of that is taxes. I dont mind paying for well maintained roads.
Id be willing to pay even more if the government stopped subsidizing fossil fuels.

$7.38 Cdn per US gallon, without exchange rates. There are 3.785 litres to a US gallon
In Alberta we are paying $1.67 Cdn/litre which is $6.32 per US gallon.
