Filling at Petro vs Husky?

Last night I noticed Husky prices were about 101 while Petro was 107.
I have a Petro card and been filling up there and only there for the last 4 or 5 years. But I've been wondering, is there a difference? Why's the price difference so much?

If nothing is wrong with Husky, I might as well fill from there. Since Petro stopped giving me the 3.5 cent discount years ago with my Petro card, I see no reason
to really stick with a gas station that charges more...

its interesting to note that at husky, the lowest octane grade gas is 90. at chevron, the lowest octane is 87. husky priced their 90 the same as chevron's 87.

If this article is telling true information, it's all about how much ethanol the station put into the fuel.

Basically, I would say RUN AWAY!

It was not the quantity of posts it was based on quality.

Only a few ROOGP are left on RS as most of the ROOGP got fed up of the BS that the new breed of Post Whores are putting up in here.

That is wrong. Tempo is part of CO-OP and has there own oil refinery in Saskatchewan. They supply gas to many companies in that region. In B.C. they get there gas from the same place Chevron and Petrocan get theirs from. The only difference between Chevron, Petrocan and Tempo is the additives that they add. I would not hesitate to use Tempo gas In fact our family sold and used Tempo gas in all our cars for 5 years until we signed up with Shell(We are now a Esso).

Husky Energy is one of Canada's largest petroleum companies.

From there website:
Husky owns a portfolio of high-margin production in Western Canada, Eastern Canada and Asia. Production ranges from shorter-term shallow oil and gas production in Eastern Alberta to longer-life, deep oil and gas production in Western Alberta, Northeast British Columbia, Southwest Saskatchewan as well as the East Coast of Canada. Husky also has significant holdings in the Alberta Oil Sands and Southeast Asia.

Just because you "noticed" something, doesn't mean it was true. In other words, perception is often different from fact.

Well damn, I only got 1/8 tank left, gas isn't getting any cheaper, and I'm sure confused whether to fill at Petro or Husky...

Going to the beach tomorrow, need to fill up tomorrow.
Maybe I should test it out and try Husky once... lol
afterall, it's not like I drive a super nicer car or anything.

Mohawk/Husky fuel actually does burn faster because of the ethanol. The ethanol is what allows Mohawk/Husky to sell a higher "base" octane gas at a better price than its competitors, but a direct side effect of running ethanol is that it burns much quicker.

If you guys think E10 gas is bad, try running E85!

There's nothing wrong with Husky/Mohawk gas. As stated, you get less per tank because there's more Ethanol in it... meaning you get a higher octane gas for cheaper. It's up to you to figure out if it's worth the lower fuel mileage for H/M gas, or to pay more for it at another station.

It's not about being cheap.

A couple bucks every week adds up to a lot in the long run.
