Joes assesment of the price breakdown is accurate.... The government earns more money on every gallon of dieselfuel than I do....they do not drill, refine, truck, store, deliver, insure or even touch the product yet make more on the fuel than me.... Now before we even get THAT far we need to take a look at how oil is bought and sold.... Prior to 1980 something oil was never traded on the open market, only those that dealt with it bought and or sold it....then they put it onto the open market where day traders and speculators drive the bus....and then they buy huge amounts on margin... I heard a story where one trader was holding something like 46,000,000 gallons of paper...on margin...these guys are UNREGULATED....and completly manipulate the market.... If you look at the volume of paper trades everyday...then someone says ok thats enough....everyone take delivery of product...there would be like a physcial shortage of fuel to the tune of something like 80,000,000 BARRELS short....(most people think a barrel is 55 gallons...thats a drum...a barrel is 42 gallons) So there is more oil on paper traded everyday than there is liquid product available for pickup.... Its a game that the US government refuses to police as the lobbyist's put hundreds of millions into the campagin funds of douche bags. Awards

Example an XI freind of mine in the US had Thyroid cancer.. he has inurance through his work.. but in the end afte all the treatments and surgery he still owed $90,000.. My wife had thyroid cancer.. in the end after all treatments and surgerys.... she walked out of the hospital and owed nothing.. So there are pros and cons on each side of the border.. We have more snow and cold.. way less tornados, hurricanes, massive floods and earthquakes.. We have way less crime.. es we have less population.. but per capita way less violent crime ... Also have you looked in the last few years about finaincialstability.. while hte world economy was rocked by US banking policys , greed, and walstreet theifs.. The Cnadian banking system was the only banking system in the world that DID NOT suffer what happend to the rest. thoguh our economy slowed because of the finaincial crisis.. it did nto fall into recession.. So it aint so bad here.. mabey cheap gas lookes good from this side of the fence.. but when you go over there you can see waht there isnt.. Awards

Gas prices have always been cheaper in the states even though the dam stuff is pumped out of our backyards... What the government takes in taxes, are given back in transfer payments to the provinces, used in infrastructure projects or healthcare costs.. Sometimes governments do the job they were designed to do. Awards

Funny thing is, when it hits say 1.16, everyone thinks it's a deal and their lining up at the pumps. A year ago, 1.05 was deal. The year before .97 was deal. It's all a mind bend. They raise, then lower it just a bit, then raise it again but above the point where is was last time. It's like conditioning to get you to like and accept paying 1.16 or so when you are not paying 1.25 or more. Big oil companies are greedy and the government loves their free money so this is the way it goes. But that's just my opinion. Awards
