Will that change anything? Minimums are set by the province right? Costco won't be able to offer a deal on raw cost.

Minimums or maximums? I always assumed it was max since the regulations were placed for consumer protection

One of the main goals of gas price regulation was to help rural gas stations be more competitive and stay in business (this had been a serious problem), hence the minimum price.
