Shameful. Nothing improves an economy quicker than cheap gas, why are we not being passed the savings by the oil companies?

Remember not all of that goes to the oil companies.
6.75¢ per litre BCTFA
12¢ per litre Translink
1.75¢ per litre Provincial Gasoline
Total: 20.50 cents per liter in taxes, not including the carbon tax or GST.
Take away the taxes, and we are not paying much more then some areas of the US.
