In a perfect world, Canada would build a refinery and refine the mud from the tar sands in situ.

The country's domestic consumption could be priced accordingly and well below world price.

Unfortunately, the world is NOT perfect.

In a perfect world, Canada would leave the mud in the ground. That stuff is as dirty as coal.
In Canada they use relatively clean petroleum gas to extract that crap. Same for US tar sands.

Good point.
In the same vein, how dirty is the ethanol that's added to gasoline?
It cost me $107CAD to fill a Subaru today. I've not had to do much driving lately, plus, it doesn't take premium like our last Subaru did, so it didn't hurt so badly.

Now, if I can just get my Onan to burn some gasoline. I finally have spark.
