> Gasoline. One thing that surprised us: the price of gas in Montreal is around 79-82 cents per liter, and a large part of that is tax (around 38%). When we got to BC and Alberta, the price of gas was ***drum roll*** 80-82 cents per liter, 42% tax. We were promised that Alberta -- which us Easterners sometimes like to call "The Land of Oil Barons and the Free" -- was supposed to have gas at around 62 cents per liter. Instead, the best we could find was 78.5 cents, and sources in Banff informed us that the price of gasoline had, in fact, jumped to 92.9 cents (!!!) in Calgary during a brief "gas shortage" scare. Aw. I really don't get this since the price of gas OUTSIDE of Montreal, but inside Quebec, is around 76-80 per liter.

The price of gas in Calgary just jumped up over the May long weekend. Before that we were sitting around 64-68 per litre. Since then it has been high 70's except for that one scare that you mentioned.
