Why Are Canadian Gas Prices Down While U.S. Prices Are Up--Way Up?

In Canadian units of measure and currency, average gasoline prices
over the last two years are down about a half cent:

June 2002, 77.2
June 2004, 76.8

In American units of measure and currency, gasoline prices over the
last two years are up about 59 cents:

June 2002, 1.41
June 2004, 2.00

In mid June 2002 that would have been 0.50 US

> June 2004, 76.8

Now that is 0.56 US

But 76.8 was the June 2004 price for Ontario only. The average Canadian price
was 85.6 or 62.5 US

Also there's something suspicious about the way they calculate prices in that
second reference. When showing Ontario averages they say Toronto East 74.4 and
Toronto West 72.5 but when they do the national average they show Toronto as 80.0

Also it may not be proper to pick the current date because for whatever reason
gas prices in southern Ontario have gone down 0.10 to 0.18 in the last 2 weeks.
Gas in the Toronto area was all about 0.90 at the beginning of June so who knows
where it will be 2 weeks from now. And when you get into Northern Ontario gas is
still in the 0.95 range.

It is entirely possible that prices have dropped that much.

Where I live, prices went as high as $2.099 for regular unleaded
and have dropped back to $1.839 per gallon. Prices went up
real fast and came down real fast.
