If I were a giant oil company and needed to keep my share holders happey with bigger devidend checks what would I do...?
1. Reduce supply by shutting down for maintanence on refinery
2. Increase price because demand is in-elastic
3. There you have it... happy share holders, and a performance bonus on the side!

$1.259/L here... not quite $5/gal... jumped 15c/L in the last week, typical long weekend spike. It'll drop down some on Tuesday or Wednesday.

$1.49 per liter for 87 octane here, our dollar is pretty much at par with the US dollar at the moment. You do the math.

Hey, there're lots of Americans on here. Do the math for us- and type slowly, so we can pretend to follow along.
