Oh fuck, prepare for $2 per liter shortly.

Already seeing people queue up like mad at some local gas stations...

^like why? i can go to one intersection and refill 60 litres at 2 stations?

How do “all” gas stations limit you to 30L? From my understanding you can limit the “$” amount but not how much you can pour? Please correct me if I’m wrong, I also heard from a friend who just visited a gas station that it’s going to be an honour system.

We can stop pumps from the inside if we want. On the Island we don't have a fuel shortage but a delivery problem from what I understand. We had 4 days of fuel at our station but sold it in 2. The company that delivers our fuel is backlogged.

Good thing I just got into an F150.. I’d have to hit 5 gas stations to fill it up :drunk:

This restriction has been interesting. My job involves me driving from the hospital to patients in their homes so I need gas. I've been low but was planning on doing so today. After work, a few hours after the announcement, all the stations on my way home were empty. My set of 5 just started and may have to take unpaid time off because I physically cannot do my job. They mentioned card lock stations but the closest to White Rock with gas and has attendants (most are 24hrs unattended) is all the way at the delta port

I should've gotten a Tesla. Lets see how this weekend goes..

It's time :lawl:

You found out this info after you told us that there wouldn't be a supply issue right? FeelsBadMan

Mike Farnworth said on today's announcement, there is not going to be policing, but trust BCers will do the right thing.

Clearly, he doesn't know Vancouver.

Richmond gas stations.... gong show as expected. Feel sorry for the attendants who would’ve otherwise had a quiet evening shift.

The stations at Fraser and Marine Dr were quiet at 7pm, however.

Fixed it for you.

Yah ... no policing, just honour system so if you need gas for work related especially seeing patients, it'll be a bit of a PIA in that you'll just have to refuel more often.

At this rate, we wont need any restrictions, there wont be any gas left to pump, never mind 30L limit lol.

It was fine yesterday,
As soon as they announce restriction, basically admitting there is supply issue... did they really expect public to remain calm? FFS people hoarded toilet papers for no reason...ROFL
WFH FTW

working from home has allowed me not to drive much, this means more gas for you :)

How long til the photos pop up of people filling up garbage bags at multiple stations?

Went to gas up in South Surrey at the Shell. They had 0 on their prices and now they seem to have premium only.

Was the only car waiting. As im waiting another 5-6 cars show up. Car in front of me at the pump leaves so I give him space and back up a tad and start to drive in. Woman in a grey Kia SUV comes speeding down between the cars across and plops her car in the spot. Says she was waiting before me? Nope and if you were it was less than me. Proceeds to fill her tank with 60+L. Yes she may also be an essential worker.

Gotta love this. I pumped 30L as the pumps were going slow. Thankfully this puts me over half a tank and I should be good to seeing my patients for the next few days until the refill.

If you're on here I hate you. Thankfully the stall beside her the guy was leaving and made sure no one behind could squeeze in before i pulled up. A little inconvenience and a little conflict to round out the night.

make it 2 transactions

Heard about this 2 days ago and filled up. Luckily I only drive max like 20km per day so I'll be fine. Let the games begun.

The depot has plenty of gas but the delivery companies are swamped because everyone ran out at the same time.

Was he not around a few years ago when salt was low in the winter? Fucking savages

Got in before the "restriction". Stations were sporadically running out 87 around and was just waiting for a Shell to be out so I can get some cheap 93. Kerr 49th ran out of 87 so I went to fill up the family mobile. We really only do daycare dropoff and pick up, and dimsum tmr with my parents. The tank will last us 2 weeks.

I was thinking whether if I wanted to fill up the blue schoolbus as the little one has been requesting it in the morning lately. 3/4 tank indicated and 2/3 tank realistically. Probably enough to last 2 weeks so I just left it be.

Shell Kerr 49th ran out of gas by the evening rush hour.

Isn't this a good opportunity for some of us to tell employer, gas shortage and no gas available in my area, can we work from home in the mean-time LOL. Assuming the work can be done from home that is.

The Shell on Hastings and Victoria sold out of the lower grades, so they're selling premium for the price of regular

^ Now that's what we want to see more of!
