Gas prices here on the Sunshine Coast are the same as inMetro Vancouver. Metro Vancouver has a 17 cent per litre transit tax. Why are the residents of the Sunshine Coast being ripped off?
I propose that the residents only purchase gas. Do not purchase anything else like oil, coffee, pop, chips, cigarettes etc. Grocery, hardware, corner stores sell the things other than gas. When the profits are taken away from the gas station owners, maybe they will petition the gas corporations to lower the price per litre.
This way we will be paying the true cost of gas.
