I lost a couple contracts in the oil sands because of the drop in barrel price.

Here in my little town in BC gas is 97.9 and diesel is 123.9. That is a BIG gap.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the exchange rates on my trip to Florida next week.

Any change in price that "hurts" the government is good for the people.

Political/environmental debate aside, I'm glad the oil sands could potentially be dying off. That and fracking in the states. But I wish the dropping oil prices would translate in the diesel price at the pump here in Quebec. Cheapest I know of is 119.9/L

The oil sands dying off would be the worst thing to happen to Canada. What else do we have to replace it with that would generate the same revenue for the government?

I'm not getting into a debate. Just my opinion/views.

Pulled up to Shell here in Stratford, I don't usually think to much about the fuel price. Looked up casually at the sign...1.22! Where did that come from!
Oh well, my commute is significantly shorter until the end of April. Filling up maybe twice a month...

Filled up at an esso near St. Jacobs this morning. 119.9 for the D less my 2.5c/L from a Groupon gas card...

There was really no in-between faze. Less than a month ago it was steady around 104. I was counting on a slow and steady creep up but looks like it crept up all at once.

My 2015 Full Year Diesel prices
Here is MY 2015 Diesel fuel data:
50 fill-ups (mostly in Eastern Ontario)
Total kms for the year = 37997
Average Diesel price = 102.85 (vs. 129.36 in 2014)
Average RUG price = 101.68 (vs. 124.71 in 2014)
My Jetta has over 314k kms now and has been averaging 4.99 l/100kms for the 185k kms that I've owned her.

Do the math and you'd be surprised. I paid 95.9 the other day here in Ottawa and the price in Odgensburg, NY was about $2.52 a gallon which is exactly the same assuming a 70 cent exchange rate that my credit card would likely use.
I also went down to Rhode Island last week and saw a low of about $2.25 a gallon for diesel there and in Mass. NY state is pricey.

Diesel was 89.9 at my local Ultramar yesterday (2 cent Tuesdays). The cheapest I have seen diesel in a long time. Especially this time of the year.
89.9/L x 3.79 = C$3.40/gal x .70 exchange = US$2.38/gal
According to http://www.fuelgaugereport.com/ the average price for diesel in the US today is $2.24/gal. $2.60/gal in NY. It would cost more to cross the border to fuel up.

Filled up today at my local Ultramar at 91.9 cents/L. This is in Scarborough at Lawrence and Orton Park (east of Markham Rd). They also have Diesel Tuesdays with 2 cents/L off on the posted price.
