Somewere on one of these boards the specific details of how the fuel surcharge is calculated was posted.
Roughly they are based on the average price of unleaded gasoline in the previous(?) month. There is some sort of time lag (ie: surcharge in November based on September gas prices?).
The lower gas prices have really only been in the last two/three weeks, expect the fuel surcharge to drop in December and again in January.
They're as bad as the Oil companies that made those huge profits over the last few months.
More accurately, CP has been suffering from the "bad" Oil companies just like the rest of us. They (CP) at least have a strict schedule of implementing the surcharge based on real events that have already happened unlike oil companies who raise prices based on something that "might" happen in the future.
