Considering Canada supplies the US with most of our oil for gas, it's 100% tax driven.

$2.84 for regular and $3.15 for premium at Costco here in N.Y. and climbing. However my friend owns a gas station and when it was $2.59 I bought 500 gallons of regular for my daily driver because I knew it was going up. Now I just go in, take as many gallons as I need and sign for it until I deplete the 500 gallons.

Yes, and I hope that 'they' lower the price of a two-four of beer back to $5, but that's not going to happen either.

Not making sense for high oil prices since you guys have the third largest oil reserves, but on the other hand, you did allow for the high taxes on fuel via your monarchy goverement instead.
Hence I not insinuating anything, but the French people came up with a new plan in 1789 when their monarchy was not working out for them; to come up with a republic goverment instead. Kind of like we did in the states just before them in 1765 as well.

I have a Nexus card and live 15 minutes from a border crossing so I can fuel up stateside for about $2.80 a gallon. Unfortunately last time I went to cross the Nexus card wasn't a benefit since it was slow as hell due to them having 3 border guards searching every car creating quite a backup. They must have had tip and were looking for something or someone.
On the way home the Canadian border guards are asking if I'm bringing back any gas in jerry cans. I guess anything other than whet you put in your tank they will ding you for.

Not anymore. $3.11 for regular and $3.39 for premium at Costco.
And although they can charge duty when bringing it back, more likely they were making sure people weren't going over the (150L I think?) transporting limit, which has been a problem with your people.
