Not get it? or stock up on jerry cans full of gas???? I don't see much in this. You have a car, it's insured. Drive it. If you can't stand the price, change your driving habits or drive less during recreation. OR take the 52 seater.

well lets say if you need gas, but are about 3/4 to empty. you can fill up tonight for 1.17/1.15 or wait untill tomorrow which will be i don't know 1.19-1.20?

I hope this is a joke. Do you know what would happen if you were injecting water into your cylinders?

you'd save about 75 cents...

it would cost me more money to leave my house tonight, use gas to get to the nearest station, and fill up, and drove home, then it would doing it tomorrow as you pass a station anyways.

Just home about 20 mins ago and all the gas stations have lineups like gas is 40 cents.

gas station on marine and fraser (One across from petro, the one with the car wash) has premium (91 octane) for $1.13, filled up and reflashed my ecu to a 91 octane tune, superchips ftmfw!

It's been $1.02 in Abbotsford for the longest time. Today (Wednesday) it was $1.12, LOL.

Good timing. They know super long weekend is coming up and the carbon tax is taking effect the next day, so they jacked the price up. Abbotsford gas stations were caught doing this shit on Fridays. When public became aware of it, they stopped doing it, only to do it on Tuesdays for awhile. I shit you not. I go from Burnaby to Abbotsford and back every day. Mornings, the price is up. Evenings, it's down. They play these fucking games all the time. I buy when the prices are low and fill up the tank and jerry cans. I've saved a bundle over the years. Abbotsford typically has gas up to 10¢/litre cheaper than the rest of the Lower Mainland. Not worth it for people to purposely go out there, but for me, it's good. I pass at least half a dozen gas stations along the way.

Harvey Specter 07-01-2010 12:38 AM

Lol, so I went out to get something to eat and 4 gas stations in a row I passed were closed because they ran out of gas.

skyxx 07-01-2010 12:39 AM

Abbotsford isn't part of the Carbon tax initiative. :D

GDChoi 07-01-2010 12:44 AM

LiquidTurbo 07-01-2010 12:45 AM

There's a few Vancouver gas stations opened, I actually went to a Shell which was still charging pre-HST price.

CorneringArtist 07-01-2010 07:59 AM

Lucky me I filled up @ 1.06 in Aldergrove on Saturday. Still got over half a tank left. I can't wait to go for a drive and see the jacked up gas prices.

Peturbo 07-01-2010 09:36 AM

Gassed up at 113.8 yesterday. Waited like fucking 25min.
I had no choice, I was dead empty.
