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?

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.

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.

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.
