Hi to all...
Sorry it's been a while!
Figured that you might be interested to see what's been going on the last couple of weeks while I was busy.
I have no idea the last time prices changed over your way so, you might want to check the latest spots against the timeframe of change from the last time.I have no doubt that they should reflect a downwards movement....So far!

July 25/06 68.04/Lt
July 26/06 68.24
July 27/06 69.08
July 28/06 67.95
July 31/06 69.59

Here's the latest I have. Doesn't look good for a decrease. Hope you might have a little notice on it. I'm still trying to find out for what days they'll be determining prices for.
Anyone have the range of dates they'll be using to determine the next increase or decrease?

July 19/06 65.98/Litre
July 20/06 66.71
July 21/06 68.18
July 24/06 69.04/Litre

Latest spots as I have them...
A huge upwards movement in spots over the last little while but it has gone down a little since July 14/06, but, not by a big lot.
I expect an adjustment coming... the evidence is there for it.

Check it out, all in cents per litre. I'm still trying to get a handle on the days they use but nothing is forthcoming...yet!

July 10/06 63.34/Litre
July 11/06 63.14
July 12/06 66.06
July 13/06 66.94
July 14/06 67.65
July 17/06 67.16

But are they the same? Are they very close?

Regulated gas in NS is now based on the New York Harbour Spot Price. That would seem to be the price we should now be concerned with.

New York Harbour prices are converted to Canadian values to get that number. I use the US dollar "noon" value to keep things straight and I record my numbers every day. I have a record of them since 2001 but, I have been posting them here since 2004.

Latest spots as I have them.
I don't know if anyone is doing some tracking to see how prices are going to go for next week, but I am tracking here at home to see if I can predict what might happen. I'll let you all know how that goes in a few days...

I'm basing pump pricing in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia on 60.44 cents per litre right now to see how far off I'm going to be. That was the average of number used from June 12/06 to June 30/06 on my sheets.

June 27/06 63.14/Lt
June 28/06 63.68
June 29/06 65.88
June 30/06 64.29
July 03/06 Markets closed
July 04/06 Markets closed
July 05/06 66.06
July 06/06 65.25
July 07/06 64.77

The last three days average a 5.6 cent a litre movement up so, be warned. The markets will have to trade down considerably next wek for there not to be an increase to consumers in any of the Atlantic Canada provinces.

George

From the looks of it, Might be a little bump here.

I've got thre cents plus possible movement according to the numbers.
Here's what I got...

Latest spots as I have them...
If anyone knows the criteria they'll be using to regulate prices, drop me a note and fill me in would you?...I'd like to crack the system and fill everyone in.

June 15/06 57.86/Litre
June 16/06 58.52
June 19/06 57.19
June 20/06 57.30
June 21/06 58.30/Litre

Not much in the numbers here. I'm still going with an average of $1.15/Litre for the Rock here with it being a little lower at around $1.12/Litre peak without the hurricane syndrome thrown in.A few slight builds in inventories have kept things steady for the time being.We'll have to take a "wait and see" when true demand kicks in. That might be sooner with the kids out of school out now.

Prices here in St. John's are now $1.15 a litre based on an average of 59.91 cents a litre spot.

According to that, you're about 3 cents too high based on those $1.15 prices I see posted.

Al Zarqawi might have gotten his head knocked off yesterday but it remains to be seen as to how the markets will react.
Oil dropped at the start of the day initally but climbed back up to sustain somewhere around a 50 cent drop in crude pricing.
It seems odd to me that,even in death and the way the markets initially perceived it that they're still looking for that "positive" quirk to drive up the price rather than see it drop.

Exactly what is it we have to see to bring relief to the consumer?...

It may be wise for the government to do an investigation into what some consider the unethical trading in oil pricing.

It's all about huge commissions if you ask me...

Sorry!
Been a little bit lackadasical with the spots with everything I have on the go.
Here's what I have since a month ago,if you can believe that. Doesn't seem that long...
All in cents per litre...

May 11/06 63.68/Litre
May 12/06 63.25
May 15/06 59.46

May 23/06 59.51
May 24/06 57.26
May 25/06 59.29
May 26/06 60.75
May 29/06 US Memorial Day holiday-No trading
May 30/06 60.03
May 31/06 59.52/Litre

It's next week's inventory reports that will start to figure in on how gas prices will go this summer.If there is a build next week,look for a slight moderation but,any kind of a draw may signal the markets to start trading higher.

This is part of the reason why there hasn't been a big lot of movement these last two weeks in pricing.

regards for now,

George

it's gone up in PEI simply because their prices are based on what happened in oil pricing for APRIL month-not what's happening right now.
Mind you...
Just because a market is regulated doesn't give a company the excuse to NOT DROP PRICES.
The companies like to hide behind whatever system is being used,not the system of what they deem to be.

Just a further note.

Try not to post here as the spots all get lost in the shuttle please!...lolRegards,

All in cents per litre.You now know why prices have been dropping slightly.

April 21/06 70.66/Litre* record outside of Katrina Syndrome week.
April 24/06 65.62
April 25/06 63.65
April 26/06 63.52
April 27/06 61.50
April 28/06 62.59/Litre

Big improvement in the Canuck Buck helped too.

Here's the latest I got for the last few days.
Next to Katrina effects after the hurricanes last year,these are the highest spots I have on record.

April 14/06 Good Friday holiday
April 17/06 69.13/litre
April 18/06 69.81
April 19/06 70.61*
April 20/06 69.04

No signs of dropping yet though gas is trading a little lower today mostly on profit-taking.

That's a good point George. When people travel from point to point in their own province (or even city), they are tourists.

Bill...
Nope...
Fact is that our governments have to be seen to be doing something when they're not.
If it's a 13.5 cent a litre road tax the Nova Scotia government got instead of todays 15 cent a litre tax,it's a recognition that government has some "guilt" in high pricing of fuels.
We don't see government stepping in here and saying "we recognize that you're having a problem with high pricing so here's a recognition of that fact"...
That's my arguement...
Remember that,in Nova Scotia,Nova Scotians are tourists too.
I'm arguing that same point here on the Rock.

When the Canadian dollar was worth more than the American dollar (in the seventies), it didn't hurt tourism at all.

Latest spot prices as I have them up until Friday.
You can see how rapid prices increased but a slight drop in spots Friday was probably because of the news on Canada's drop in unemployment rates.That helped the Canuck Buck pick up against the US counterpart and absorbed some of the "shock".
Canuck buck was worth $1.1719 against the US dollar Monday and ended the week at $1.1467.
Drawback here is that,if the buck gains against the US dollar into the summer,it might hurt tourism.What we need to see is an "investment" in dropping gasoline taxes as an incentive to get tourists here.

All prices in cents per litre.

Note that on the 22nd I had the spot dropping by almost 3.2 not including taxes yet,the price at the pump didn't back down by the same.
"Taken for a Day" I call it...

Keep an eye to the pumps as I'm thinking a hit might take place in a day or two.

Wednesday's bad report on gasoline draws on US inventory along with refineries "shut down" for "maintenance" and chageovers, along with figures for overall demand at 2.3% over last years numbers,has done nothing to aleviate the pricing situation.
Time for some divine intervention if we're not going to see high pricing come the summer!

Seems that OPEC will try and keep things as they are for the time being and the Iran IAEA situation might not heat up until next week and if sanctions are reccomended by the United nations as a result,it may well be then that we'll see Iran cut back,or even halt,exports of some 4 million barrles a day.
This week,inventories were down on gasoline but still remain a mere 500,000 barrels over the same level last year but DEMAND is recorded as being 2.5% over the same period last year.
Look for prices to moderate slightly as refineries are recorded this last week as producing at a low of 83% of total capacity as they are said to be switching over from distillate production to gasolines.

This might be the start of the nuclear show in the Middle East as the IAEA,the United Nations nuclear watchdog arm,will decide weather to hold Iran accountable before the UN and invoke sanctions against the country.
Spots are already rising again and they might not stop until you're hit with a buck a litre again.

February 27/06 46.08/Litre
February 28/06 46.83
March 01/06... 47.98

latest I have...
A thwarted terrorist attack against Saidi Arabia's major export facility drove spot and crude oil prices up on Friday and Al Queda are promising more attempts.
The general area attacked includes one of the world's largest oil export facilities,responsible for almost 6.6 million barrels per day of crude oil exports from Saudi Arabia.

February 20/06 US Presidents day Holiday-No Trading
February 21/06 45.87/Litre
February 22/06 45.86
February 23/06 45.35
February 24/06 47.11

If oil is upo again on Monday,the potential may be there for a further increase in pricing so,keep an eye on "Price Hike Warning" next week.

Still ranging down after the International Atomic Energy Agency said that it wouldn't pursue action through the United nations until a months time.
Iran may not face attacks from Israel either as there are three possible nuclear targets in the country and that would make it a more impossible target than what the Israeli's faced in the Osiraq bombing of 1981.
The $2.00 a barrel drop today tho,was mainly caused by speculation of a good inventory build in all areas of crudes,gasoline and distillate inventories.
If good numbers are reported on the 8th,we might see more drops but I wouldn't expect low prices to last-that is,until we see what the UN will do about the Iran problem a month from now.
Enjoy it now because it might not last...

Iran still counters with it's creation of it's own nuclear program,that it won't make nuclear weapons but,from the looks of things,we're headed for some kind of "embargo" scenario with the United Nations.
That situation continues to play heavily against prices even though inventories,particularly are being on the more positive side...

We might have dodged a bullet with spot prices receding in recent days...Here's what I have,all in cents per litre...

January 18/06 53.93/Litre
January 19/06 52.69
January 20/06 53.43
January 23/06 52.48
January 24/06 51.62/Litre

The Middle East situation still remains very volitile with Iran 's want of it's nuclear reactor program and the promise of a possible cut to OPEC's production quota of a million barrels.
It's looking to be not too good for the coming summer unless OPEC holds back,inventory increases ahead of the driving season,and demand slackens somewhat...

January 16/06 Markets Closed
January 17/06 55.20/Litre

With the Iranian oil minister asking OPEC for that 1 Miliionbarrel production cut the week before and now warnings from the same country to European Union and the United Nations to stay out of it's nuclear energy research,Iran is again promising to use oil as a weapon in the face of possible sanctions.
That possibility has the world wondering about Iran's 4 million barrels per day leaving the markets.
What would that do to prices?...
Hold your breath because I think that oil prices could reach $85.00 US a barrel depending on how long Iranian production would be off the markets-if it were to happen.

A drop in inventories of crude but good builds in distillate and gasoline for the last week might be the forebearer of things to come this week.
Telling on all this was the fact that crude oil went up while the value of the commodities went DOWN.
It was odd to see but we'll take it!
