I have noticed....over the course of the last several months...that generally whatever the price per barrel is, is pretty close to what our price per liter is. So when oil was in the $130 range, our gas was $1.3xx a litre. Yea..we're getting jobbed on gas prices, especially in big metro areas. In Windsor, gas has been in the $1.22 range, whereas 40 kms away it's in the $1.17 range.
As far as the US dollar gaining ground....it hasn't gained anymore that 8 cents or so. I know because I buy US dollars almost every week....
