Petro Canada Is Ripping Us Off

You’ve heard it before…
When oil prices rise, the price at the pump goes up within a day.
When oil prices drop, it takes weeks for the adjustment.
It’s a way the oil companies gouge us both ways – up and down.
Why hasn’t there been a government inquiry into this?
Oil peaked at around $140/barrel and gas went to $1.45/litre in Vancouver.
Now that oil has dropped to $115/barrel, you’d think that gas would be in the $1.14-$1.20 range.
It’s stuck at $1.40 – meaning they are ripping off consumers by 75 cents per gallon.
This would cause an uproar anywhere else.. out here, nobody seems to notice.
Between the oil prices being artificially raised each morning and the overcharging, the oil companies should be getting a lot of heat.
Instead, we pay whatever they demand and become poorer through our silence.

Yeah, I am tired of being physically forced to buy gas and want something done. I also think Ducatis are way overpriced and would like the goverment to make their prices fair as well.
