Why is it that US and Canadian retail prices so closely reflect each other in rising and dropping, the difference remaining about the same, month after month, year after year?

Port Angeles Washington. We are always higher that most of the country, and they are always slow on bringing the price back down. Oh, that was a Chevron...generally higher than others.

Of course it is! Just like demand rose 500% in four years, DUH :)
Yeah it sure does. Having a second market crash in June causing permanent demand destruction works. Too bad I lose all my revenue and half my employees to boot. I guess if you want a country that declines in population, are serfs that is a good thing. You sure are a Democrat. I will never, ever, ever, ever vote for Democrat. You accuse Bush of acting like Hitler but your party doesn’t even allow a straight up or down vote. The only thing you got left is that investment in media, but some of us like counter propoganda also and are very good at.
Dude. Change your screen name, you look like the enemy to me.
The weakening dollar came at the hands of Bush policies. They let it slide to benefit American exporters and domestic producers. They apparently believe in free lunches too, as they appear to have ignored that oil is an import, just like Kia cars, but domestic production is based on a world price and therefore just as expensive as foreign oil.
Please pass on your source for that statement.
NPR actually has had some good coverage of this - they’ve gone out and interviewed the retailers. They also put on an economist to describe the psychology of upwards and downwards pricing at the pump - gasoline is a bizzare product in that the price is in big numbers right out on the street so drivers can evalute prices without even turning in to the facility.
