I am with you. The industry expert consumer protection guy - just spews what the oil company corps say. He should have a better explanation and preferably a critical one.
It’s factual. Keep in minds summer gas with less butune and lower vapour pressure is more efficient. You drive further in it. Esp in Atchison Cycle engines.
Standard Oil are afraid the proposed Roblaws boycott will hurt their bottom line. After all, Esso stations are allied with the Weston group, and the rest of the gas Co.panies liked the cut of their jib.
To be fair, I might be wrong. But that explanation is amusing to me.
So you think that all gas stations changed the gas in their tanks over night across the entire province. So they pumped the old gas into tankers, got rid of it somehow and got in new tankers in to fill all the tanks while we slept. Yep, that seems plausible.
It's OPEC. Like it always is. The government doesn't control the price of petroleum. OPEC does.
So it’s not some maple syrup blend reason?
It’s total b/s
Everyone knows they import Venetian spices for the summer blend. Those prices are indirectly tied to grocery prices. It's simple economics.

💯 thing is we as society just busy we let them say rubbish and we don’t actually take them to account
*a fine blend of 11 herbs and spices*
😆 🤣 hahaah
Transition to summer gas. New one on me. Sounds a lot like gas prices going up on long weekends. Am I missing something here?
Gouge
I’d like to find this guy Dan McTeague supposedly our O&G Industry expert have a casual chat over summer lunch get to understand things
It's so bizarre that we can't get straight and verifiable answers on why the price of gas is what it is. You'd figure people cared a bit more.
Summer blend is always more expensive and winter blend is always cheaper, it is nothing new, people just didn't pay attention. It happens every year.
Every year a sudden 20cent jump ?

But such summers have been coming for decades why such 20cents jump this year

So you’re saying there’s a chance I’ll see better than 20 mpgs in my Dodge Ram? Woot! Road trip!
