    1) Approach of the summer driving season leading to a switch to summer gas formulations which leads to a reduction in supply. 2) Higher crude prices. 3) A lower Canadian dollar. 4) Lack of retail competition in Canada and 5) U.S. exports of gasoline and diesel out of North America creating tighter demand and supply conditions.
