Gas Prices

Gas prices here in Alberta have reached $1.30/litre and are still expected to rise. That’s roughly $4.90 a gallon down south. We have so many resources such as the tar sands which are being heavily extracted causing a huge boom in our economy. How come we are not seeing these effects in the prices?
