Oooo shit. Yeah that’s super not fun. You gotta be careful man. It’s just like a 49cc scooter. You CAN get pretty messed up.

The extra 45 minutes round trip (plus the wait in line) isn't worth the extra savings, IMO. I also tend to go later at night so Costco gas closed usually by then...
I go to the D St gas stations, they're the cheapest in Blaine I think. The Shell has Tillamook dairy stuff so that's a bonus, plus the cashier is really nice so I like chatting with her for a bit. Get the Shell Fuel Rewards card for a little extra savings...

Can am pr yesterday was $1.429 for 87, I think 92 was $1.629? The guy at shell kept pushing shell with packages but I'm not sure if it's really cheaper I think few cents off if you pay cash plus $0.05 off a gallon with the shell card? But seems like a hassle to carry so much cash everytime.

I filled up at Shell PR on Saturday and it was $6.399/gal for 92 - I didn't make note of the price until after I finished filling up.

If I am doing my math right, the spread between US (Shell) 92 gas vs regular gas is ~Cdn 15 - 16˘/L.
Locally in Vancouver, the smallest spread you see is Cdn 21 - 22˘ at Esso / Mobil type of place (for 91 vs 87). At Shell / Chevron, you're looking at a Cdn 26 - 27˘ spread. Quote:

there seems to be one or 2 daily | 92 at can am still works out to be cheaper than regular here on most nights. I live very close to PR and you know, have a life, so watching the Facebook group to run out of the house and wait in a big line to get gas. Nah I’ll just dip to PR around midnight for 7 minutes
But let’s say someone didn’t have a passport, then yeah totally

Just don’t get rear ended gents. Don’t wanna see a fireball in the news just because you guys wanted to save a few bucks.
Please be careful transporting fuel.

Hmm... this is getting interesting... if Biden succeeds in temporarily suspending their gas tax, then there'll be an additional 18.4˘'s worth of reason to fill up at Blaine / PR~!

You know the price of crude per barrel is still about $100 right? This is nothing but pure extortion and price gouging and the government is letting it happen I assume

Just because the price of crude was 90$ 10 years ago, and it's 90$ today, does not mean the end user price will stay the same
The cost to:
Pay scientists to find crude
Test drilling
Setting up new sites
Hire staff to drill, when there are no staff to hire
Transport that crude
Process it
Transport it again
Sell it
Clean the tanks that store it
New environmental safety policies (through all the steps above)
and literally every single person associated with that process, their wages have gone up, every year, for the last 10 years
Don't forget maintenance of all that equipment, legal, etc
