The negitive prices that were seen at the top of the lock down are not likley as jet B fuel is projected to be low demand until 2026.

The aviation sector consumed almost 8% of oil products globally in 2019, or almost 7.5 million barrels per day according to Bloomberg NEF’s 2020 Aviation Fuel Outlook. In 2020, Covid-19 has grounded much of the world’s aircraft, leading to almost a halving of fuel consumption. Long-term, however, appetite for air travel should continue to grow. With few alternatives and without significant policy intervention, air miles will continue to be powered by fossil fuels. This research note analyzes the key themes driving consumption of aviation fuels to 2050.

Good luck on your driving habits and stay safe remember the Restrictions on travel this Christmas.

  After many weeks of $1.40.9er liter the price of regular gasoline has dropped two cents per liter. The CBC has been reporting that Canadian crude price is low, 13 dollars a barrel low,and the Alberta government is concerned. Some oil officials are calling it an emergency as West Texas settlement prices are dropping as well. 

Cushing Oklahoma is the contract settlement point for  contracts and has been for 30 years. Grades and content makes a big difference in crude prices. 

West Texas has been a benchmark price for settlement prices but lately has been discounting prices of entities such as OPEC Basket.

Western Canada Select dropped below 20 dollars a barrel last month and commentators are saying that Saskatchewan can not continue to rely on      " quirky" pricing for budgets. 
It seems that the people of Alberta may have demonstrated collective wisdom in their no vote for the 2026 Olympics last week. 
 The future market for benchmark oil in December is $56.77 at this writing.
We are not protected from tariffs on artificial price controls from the 
Americans in the free trade agreement. It seems we need to tough it out in this market.

 The price of gas is having a roller coaster ride in this morning with some at a dollar thirty two and some at $1.38.9. Prices had been at $1.38.9 last week then were put down to $1.25.9.
There is a petition against more taxes on gasoline on the gas buddy site. The context is the new provincial government of John Horgan has a razor thin coalition majority in the parliament and relies on the Green party to govern. The executive took tolls of some bridges in the lower mainland and is due for a budget. However the petition is for the Capital Region in Victoria for transit funding.

At this writing the difference between the downtown Petrocan and the on Dewolf road leaving town on highway 5 is 5 cents a liter. The Chevron on Dewolf is 2 cent s more then Petrocan at $1.32.9.

The price of gas has been stable here of some weeks at 111.9 a liter, including through the Labour Day long weekend. Today the Petro Canada at Voght and Nicola is selling for a dollar 10 .9 per liter down a penny. That’s probably it for the summer driving season. However personal thrift and conservation could well spill over into lower prices for food at harvest and necessary trucking from southern states of produce.
Lets hope every one gives a little and gets a little in the way of quality of life this coming fall and winter…
There are no pumps at the local Canadian Tire .

The average price in BC is $115.9 per liter lowest is $98.9. Price trend is stable….
At this writing all five competitors are at $110.9 per liter, that’s Shell. Petro Canada, Extra Foods , Super Save and Chevron.

The Petro Canada Station here in Merritt received a delivery of gasoline yesterday ending its 2 day lack. Today it is selling regular gasoline at a dollar nineteen a liter.

When we asked a customer fueling his vehicle bearing Saskatchewan plates if he had any trouble greeting gas on his trip from the east he said no. ” didn’t have to carry some in your pockets to get here ”  “no”.
