It's world prices DIY. Ours have gone up as well and we take it out of our ground but they sell for world prices. The Saudi's say they will start pumping more oil and that will bring the prices down worldwide. It has nothing to do with the election at all.
It's just pure greed from the oil companies.
The thing that really gets me is when they say Summer gas is more expensive. They put additives in gas during the Winter to stop gas lines freezing. So they take it out and charge more? They know people travel more in the Spring, Summer and Fall so jack up the prices and they are held artificially high for that reason. All about the almighty $$$$$$ 1.35 Canadian. Have a great Easter.
