    Patriot,

    Fuel taxes are kinda steep here:

    Province of BC tax: about 22 cents per litre
    Federal gas tax: about 16 cents per litre.
    Total tax: 38 cents per litre. On gas that the pump price is about $1.03 a litre, including the tax.

    It varies all over the map across Canada. Big cities add to the gas taxes to pay for public transit and the like. The oil province, Alberta, has a total gas tax of about 24 cents per litre.

    I have no idea about keeping taxes high to export it. I do know I can zip across the border and buy gas in Idaho for one heck of a lot less, but get dinged if I try to bring a barrel back.




    Jon.
