Heads up for you jerry can warriors.
Since I can see my future, I don’t want to be a chump holding my Jerry cans trying to fill my car. It’s annoying enough at track days. I looked into the battery operated pumps and even on eBay they’re all $50+shipping which is insane https://www.ebay.ca/itm/183436058182...YAAOSw8fJbnXre
But I was just at Canadian tire looking for splined lug nuts and they have the same thing for $15. You’re god damn right I bought one. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/m...3043p.html#srp |

Just went to Point Roberts last night. Shell was 1.07USD for reg and 1.36 for premium (both accounting for the 5cent reward discount). It's about a 25 cent/L savings for 92 Shell vs 91 here. You will be yielding larger savings with regular gas for sure.
Good thing I gassed up 170L. Saved about $42 and picked up a parcel so it wasn't too bad. Quote:

Two stations could both show 175.9 on the sign but their 91 is likely to be different - with Shell 91 always at least on par, or more expensive than the rest.

I find it funny that rightwingers can organize people to drive across the damn country and hang out in freezing conditions over vaccinations -- a very divisive issue.
We all fucking need gas and drive cars, gas prices are a unifying subject.
I voted for the NDP and John Horgan, one of his campaign promises was specifically investigate/address the cost of gas in BC. He has yet kept that promise.
I find it interesting that we're so damn passive. Why as British Columbians are we paying more for gas than anywhere else in North America? What is going on here? Why is the populace so apathetic to doing anything about it, and holding their government accountable?

Vancouver is this mystical place where everyone complains about how expensive everything is but nobody is broke enough to do anything about it.

Or probably the gov wants all of us to make the switch to EV.
Let gas prices keep increasing, more people switch to EV. Gov takes credit saying they are making BC green and environmentally friendly

The government takes over 50 cents a litre everytime you fill up, trust me they don't want everyone switching to EVs anytime soon. Once EV gets popular enough that it hurts their bottom line the new taxes will roll in for them too.

We don't refine enough for ourselves, so we have to buy from Alberta (this is most of our supply) and WA State (5% of supply). Suppliers from AB/WA charge us a transport cost and markup on that.
WA State already got one of the highest spot prices for gasoline in domestic US because you guessed it... not enough refinement capacity. RE: Public Inquiry
I thought this happened? BCUC held a public inquiry: https://www.bcuc.com/OurWork/ViewPro...licationid=681
There was some bill passed that required providers to provide info, and they also made this site: https://www.gaspricesbc.ca/
They found that there's some 13c litre that isn't accounted by taxes + transport cost + whatever on top of the PNW spot price.

I've heard this "refinery" argument forever now. I call bullshit on that one.
We border a state below us with prices 30 cents or so less than us, for some a mere 20 minute drive away. We border our largest oil producer in the country Alberta as well. https://www.gasbuddy.com/gasprices/saskatchewan https://www.gasbuddy.com/gasprices/manitoba https://www.gasbuddy.com/gasprices/new-brunswick
Look at each province above, what is their refinery capacity? Has prices in as remote as New Brunswick are still notably less.
I recall the findings of the "extra 12 or so cents per liter unaccounted for in BC" from that assessment and it always made me laugh. Where there's smoke there is fire, something is certainly wrong here in BC when it comes to our gas prices, and I have yet seen a government elected here to actually address the problem with real solutions.
I'm complaining yes, but with the cost of housing in this province, it just seems we're gouged at every single level here, it's becoming tiresome.

TBH, with the gas price where it is and what the price of EVs are nowadays and what they are capable of, for city commuting, it's literally a luxury that one is still driving an ICE vehicle.
I've gone full EV for a while already that I no longer care about gas price anymore. Now I just think all these increase in gas price is the gov't secret plot to switch everyone to EV.

I made enough off coal last year to pay for 5 years of gas at $3/l so I'm good....
I was so close to dumping some of my EV stocks back in November to buy a Viper.... lol... then I realized I have nowhere to put it unless I get rid of my MR2. At least it's more than enough to pay for gas until I'm forced to buy an EV.
