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

6 E; o( k/ X* {9 CThe 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.

"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.

"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.

"Because of the fact that the prices are so reasonable, I've actually taken the liberty to drive more. I've really enjoyed doing more driving."

2 B- M# F: B/ M6 fThe price of crude oil, the main ingredient in gasoline, has been dropping steeply since it's peak of $147 reached in July.

( H& p+ F9 g2 X8 B"Crude oil is an important input into the distillation of gasoline. But there's a lot of other factors as well," said Todd Hirsch, senior economist with ATB Financial in Calgary.

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.

! K0 b: }' h, |  t9 l"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."

( m% M8 x# M6 A8 v( }) j+ N1 EAnother 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.

"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."

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.

"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."
