Various factors contribute to the fluctuation in gas prices:
- Price of Crude Oil: When the demand for crude oil rises and its supply decreases, gas prices tend to increase. The price of crude oil is determined by its demand, supply, and several other influential factors.
- Retail Margin: The difference between the acquisition cost and pump price, known as the retail margin, encompasses the retailer’s profit and the operational costs of the station.
- Taxes: Taxes are levied on every liter of purchased gasoline, significantly impacting gas prices. These taxes can be federal, provincial, or municipal, with variations between different provinces.
- Transportation Cost: The estimated cost of transporting gasoline to the station depends on the distance and can vary from city to city.
- Refining Margin: The cost of refining crude oil into various products, represented by the refining margin, fluctuates throughout the year and is the difference between rack price and crude oil price.
In addition to these factors, other elements such as the status of oil and gas reserves, the value of the US dollar, refining capacity, geopolitical conflicts, seasonal changes, demand, and weather conditions can also influence gas prices.
To save on fuel costs, individuals can adopt practices like reducing speeds, smooth acceleration, regular vehicle maintenance, and utilizing public transportation or ride-sharing. While electric vehicles offer a solution to high gas prices, they may involve higher upfront costs.
