oppdetcon Champion Author Ottawa Posts:1,431 Points:498,600 Joined:Feb 2011	Message Posted: Dec 19, 2012 11:32:51 PM Ignore oppdetcon Report Abuse With today's crude oil price of $89.66 USD per barrel and the US dollar at 99¢ CAD, the price of regular unleaded gasoline in Ottawa, Ontario should be $1.08 per litre at normal profit margins. At a price of $1.18 per litre, you are paying 10¢ per litre in pure excess profit. Across Canada, an extra margin of 10¢ per litre generates an additional profit of 10.11 million dollars per day. Still $5.31 per gallon in our region...

The idiots you voted for for Congress as well as for your President have already guaranteed a recession next year. Their arguing has caused market instability (a precursor to a recession). Enjoy, the prices,enjoy the a recession next year.
