Here gas is $1.08 per liter and diesel around $1.30. Tomorrow that will most likely change as our sister province next door just raised their prices today.
At one time they used to claim our prices were based on some imaginary New York price. Saw in the news a week or so ago that now it's a more expensive European 'Bent' price our government regulators use.
I think the government regulators and oil companies go around to find the most expensive crude in the world to base their calculations on.

Gas and diesel in Europe were both over $2/liter the last time I was
there.


Right now, in Rotterdam, diesel is $1.53/L times 3.8L/gallon gives a measely $5.81
for a gallon of diesel. It's no wonder so many folks ride bikes over there.
