All the complaints about gas-gouging are totally legitimate. We are literally getting "hosed" at the pump.
I drive a car that cannot use Ethanol blend gas, so I have to buy either Shell V-Power premium or Chevron 94 octane, which have no Ethanol. What I cannot understand is why in the USA, premium gasoline is 20 to 40 cents a gallon more expensive than regular, yet here in Canada, I have to pay more than 90 cents a gallon (almost $1.00 more at Chevron) extra for ethanol-free premium than US prices.
An average fill-up costs about $20 extra because of the huge difference in the price of premium vs. regular. My other thought on fuel prices is why diesel is more expensive than gasoline when it costs less to produce. Why?
