Diesel in Canada is still cheaper than gas but both are higher than in the US because of taxes. To me the crux of the problem is the 'regulator'(Washington). They are asleep at the switch. When crude goes up a $1.00 a barrel we get a disproportionate jump in pump prices as if it cost the refiner and distributor more to process it. Everyone is jumping in on the act to hike their percent at our expense. They all have lobbyists to smooth their way with the Washington crowd and we pay. Bottom line, the refiners and distributors are making record profits when the end user is suffering. It's the same with the banks and drug companies. Record profits, higher prices. It smacks of racketeering to me.
I am more than willing to conserve (and do) but I'd be more impressed if I saw a good example from the powers that be.
Enough of my rant... Now our next trip will be.....
