1.16 in my town here in Ontario at the moment but you travel say 20 minutes and it could be 1.26. 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.
i believe someone covered this topic a few weeks ago abuot the states. 2 yrs ago 1.50 or so raised up to almost 4.00 a gallon dropped back down to around 2.50 or so. 1 yr ago or so raised up to 4.00 plus dollars and now back down to under 3.50 and everytime it drops down from where it was but above what it should be, everybody is like whew glad the proces came down. lol
