i thought we knocked iraq off that list, why the hell isn't gas getting cheaper?!?!
the way to lower gas prices is either to increase supply (and I dont think any of us are going to find oil in our backyards anytime soon), or decrease demand. So start driving less/using less energy if you want to really have an impact on gas prices. Boycotting 2 companies isnt going to have much of an effect imo, since most people wont support some stupid boycott, and simply buy gas from the place with the easiest access.

Methinks what you mean is: "Canada's so open and free that you can mush your dogsled from Yukon Territory to Ottawa to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's birthday every year without cost becoming prohibitive"

P.S. If it weren't for family up there, I'd never set foot in the Great White North

Too bad gas is an almost perfectly inelastic product. Consumers are much less sensitive to price changes of these goods.
God damn capitalists.

i think it's more of a short term thing, eventually consumers will react to the price change and find substitutes, and purchase more gas effecient vehicles.
