No! No! It's those Greenie Enviro-Nazis. THEY forced gas prices up, they're the bad guys:

That idiot got it backwards. Oil companies see the writing on the wall, and are making bank while they still can.

Eggs Ackley!!!
Never mind dictates, incentives, etc. The sheer greed of the oil industry will force you to drive an EV.
I predicted this "last gasp of Big Oil coming.
But amazingly, despite the last time oil was at this price gas was a DOLLAR less, people are blaming the TWO CENTS carbon tax increase and insisting they cut the gas tax

$2.339 in the Lower Mainland. $10.619 a gallon.
And BC Transit stuffed a survey in my mailbox. How can we improve our services in your area.
Maybe have service in our area?
Sorry - no such option. Only responses we wish to receive on this survey.
... more frequentSkytrain service (to Telkwa or Granisle?)

When I was in Maple Ridge in early July, I got gas at $1.99/litre a couple times, while in Vancouver, it was closer to $2.15/litre.
Of course with the prevalence of Teslas in Vancouver (I don't think you're allowed to live there if you have anything else), I guess the gas station owners gotta make whatever profits they can while they can.

USPS to more than double order of electric trucks
The energy-from-petroleum train is leaving the station. Final boarding.

That makes sense in Vancouver, $100,000 Teslas, why it would be nice to own a car less than 1/10 the price of your house. But there seems to be a lot of cheap ass people wanting $20,000 cars that live in $2,000,000 homes too.
Where I live there seem to be a lot of contractors who think their 30 year old, 300,000 km, 25L/100km beaten to ratshit F250 is worth $35,000
