Answer 1

Canada is the world's second largest country. Prices vary from city to city and usually become more expensive as you drive out of the highly populated areas.

Q. How do Canadian gasoline prices compare to other countries around the world? ( from: http://www.caa.ca/mini%20sites/gasprice/pricing.html )

Studies have shown that Canadians experience some of the lowest gasoline prices in the world.

One Year ago 2.266 89.240

Q. Why do gas prices vary between provincial/territorial regions and between cities? (from http://www.caa.ca/mini%20sites/gasprice/pricing.html )

A. Several factors create a variance between provincial/territorial regions in Canada and between cities. The cost of transportation to individual markets, differences in provincial and municipal taxes, sales volumes, and the level of competition in a given market can all effect gasoline pricing.

Studies have shown that consumers in larger centres often experience lower prices because retailers sell larger volumes of gasoline. This allows them to compete at lower price levels and still cover their operating costs.

Answer 2

We would be lucky if gas prices stayed at only $4.00. With china and india's economy booming a big majority of their 2 billion population are purchasing automobiles and thus driving up the demand for gas. A new president won't be able to do much, be ready for $6 and maybe even $7 a gallon for gas in the not so distant future. Why would the president care? If we as a whole we don't make a stand by not driving for a week or the truckers striking for a week where nobody would receive any type of shipment or packages then maybe someone in Washighton would listen. But for now get used to it.

Answer 3

Not stupid, just a little mixed up. Price for gas vary just like anywhere else. Prices are in cents or dollar and cents per litre of gasoline depending on demand and supply.

Presently on the East coast we pay 94.5 cents per liter, that is just a bit less than an American quart or over $3.70 Cdn $$ per US gallon.

Answer 4

Our prices are per liter. You can quickly multiply it by 3.8 to find the rough price per US gallon. So $3.705 and $2.91 for your examples. It still would still be in Canadian dollars which is about 85 cents today.

I live in BC and it is between 90 and 95 right now and falling. It was over a $1.00 at the end of last year. It usually goes back up mid spring.

Answer 5

Gas in Canada is priced by the litre ... one litre is about 33.5 ounces.
Gas varies throughout the country, it is around 97 cents a litre in Bc, and 80 cents or so a litre in Ontario. That is in Canadian currency, of course, which has slightly less value than US money at the moment.

FYI -- One U.S. gallon (128 oz) is slightly less than 4 litre's.

Answer 6

97.5?! Whoa! That's nowhere near me. Well, right now gas prices are hovering around the 76 - 88 cents mark.

Answer 7

Depends what part of canada you are going to, in ontario is between 80 to 105 cents per litre

Answer 8

86 cents a litre on Feb.12, 2007, Toronto

Answer 9

Well, gas prices always change. But usually range grom 70 to 110. and yes, it is cents :)

Answer 10

Depends on where you go, in the east it changes frequently and is usually cheaper than in the west were it remains the same for a long period of time before changing.
