' H6 [- y: M& a, ]0 s! y# |CALGARY - With crude oil prices falling, motorists may wonder why gasoline prices are heading in the other direction.

; E  m5 q# ^& Y' t. Z8 X0 A0 U* ]& sThe average Canadian pump price rose to around 81.75 cents per litre Friday - more than three cents more than a week ago, according to the price-tracking website Gasbuddy.com.

Calgarians were paying on average 81.5 cents per litre - about a four-cent jump in just one day.

"I don't actually understand it and I do work in the oil and gas industry, so I'm perplexed about it," said Paul Lawnikanis as he filled up his truck at a Calgary Esso station, which was selling gas for 80.4 cents per litre.

But Friday's price is still a welcome respite from the $1.40-level gas many Canadian cities faced during the summer.

"I definitely changed my habits in the summer. I was going to go on two road trips, which I did not go on by virtue of the fact that the prices were so high," Lawnikanis said.

Vancouver, which has higher gas taxes than other cities, has prices of 94.7 per litre, up from 87.5 a week ago.

Industry players would say they have to account for transportation, marketing and other expenses - not to mention taxes, which vary from province to province.

But those oil companies - private-sector players in a free-market system - also want to turn a profit.

"Without question those gasoline prices are going to be the highest they think they can get away with without their competitor undercutting them," said Hirsch.

"In the next six months I would expect to see gasoline prices more or less in the range they're in now, maybe firming up a little bit towards the spring and summer driving season as demand rises."

But Gasbuddy.com co-founder Jason Toews said he sees gas prices going higher than their current levels because of a slowdown in Alberta's oilsands and expected production cuts by the Organization of Petroleum Exploring Countries.

"With lower supplies of crude oil in the market it's going to push crude oil prices up, especially if the economy starts to recover a little bit," Toews said.
