Gas prices are rising while crude prices are falling. What gives?

CALGARY - With crude oil prices falling, motorists may wonder why gasoline prices are heading in the other direction.

The 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.

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

% q- W! Y4 f+ }( E8 UThe price of crude oil, the main ingredient in gasoline, has been dropping steeply since it's peak of $147 reached in July.

The February contract for crude oil settled at US$36.51 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, down from more than US$50 a barrel a week ago.

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

"They're out to maximize their profits for their shareholders. I don't think there's anything evil going on in them trying to get the highest price. Every retailer in the country does this."

Another explanation could be that the February contract for crude oil expires on Tuesday, and the contract for March is already significantly higher, settling at $42.57 on Friday.

"(The oil companies) might have realized that while prices were low in the last couple of weeks, they knew that there was going to be a correction," Hirsch said.

Hirsch expects pump prices to bounce between 60 and 90 cents per litre over the next few months, but not retesting the heights of last summer.

"I'm not seeing a lot of strengthening in crude oil prices over the next six months," he said.

"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."

; b0 P' k& C5 A' ?/ [5 B2 w"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.

"Once the summer demand for gasoline comes, we're going to see gas prices go up quite a bit from where they are right now. We're going to see a return of a $1 per litre gas for sure and we may even see up to $1.20 per litre."
