A look at national gasoline prices at Gasbuddy.com Saturday revealed the stunning penalty being paid by Vancouver residents. At 44 cents a litre it represents more than $25 a fill up for most mid-sized SUVs. The conventional response for this is “tight supply” and there’s a grain of reason in that but what’s the cause? The NDP government is just barely in power with the support of minority Green members who may think it’s all fine. Do Green Party members drive gasoline-fuelled cars? All the misery on the west coast may remind Federal Liberals that the provincial Liberals are the only known political alternative in BC. Conservatives haven’t ruled BC under that name since 1933.
Us stupid Vancouverites should have bought electric vehicles five years ago.
