So the price of gas here is now just a couple of cents lower than it was at this time last year. So much for that idea that low oil prices were going to help out the consumer.

"It's that gas prices have inched back up to almost where they were, even though oil is still way down."
I don't know what you mean. Gas prices a year ago were around $1.20 here. Today they are about $.85. Since the entire country pays the same amount for the oil that creates the gasoline, it is factors like taxes and greed that influence your sharp rise in prices. Thanks to pipelines, the cost of freight per liter is not a huge factor.

Gas prices here a year ago were around 1.20. Yesterday average price here 1.19. No change in taxes. Aint nutin to do with taxes either.

Then it must be greed, since prices have not gone up sharply everywhere.
And taxes are a large chunk of gas prices in Canada.
