Last night I noticed Husky prices were about 101 while Petro was 107.
I have a Petro card and been filling up there and only there for the last 4 or 5 years. But I've been wondering, is there a difference? Why's the price difference so much?

If nothing is wrong with Husky, I might as well fill from there. Since Petro stopped giving me the 3.5 cent discount years ago with my Petro card, I see no reason
to really stick with a gas station that charges more...

[dark0821]

well Husky has 10% ethonal in the mix.. so it burns faster? i dunno.. i stick to the chevron infornt of my house.. hahaha... yes i knwo i am lazy LOL..

[tgill]

almost everywhere was 102 last night
the shell at kingsway and gagne was 101.. down the street the esso at kingsway and willingdon was 107

[rageguy]

its interesting to note that at husky, the lowest octane grade gas is 90. at chevron, the lowest octane is 87. husky priced their 90 the same as chevron's 87.

[Dan_Guy]

from what i ve heard husky = fail fuel

[SoulCrusher]

^^what you've heard is correct

[03aspec]

i filled up supreme at $1.20 a liter today, FML. husky, mohawk, tempo and all the other shitty gas stations you can think of buy gas from what ever company they can buy it the cheapest from, esso, chevron etc. and add all their own detergents and stuff. lol. its poop gas.

[AzNightmare]

so the moral of the story is
DON'T FILL AT HUSKY?

[03aspec]

yes! dont fill up at husky

[TRD3000GT]

If this article is telling true information, it's all about how much ethanol the station put into the fuel.

Basically, I would say RUN AWAY!

[PiuYi]

i always thought husky = chevron 89
but maybe just the one on 3 road n blundell?

That is wrong. Tempo is part of CO-OP and has there own oil refinery in Saskatchewan. They supply gas to many companies in that region. In B.C. they get there gas from the same place Chevron and Petrocan get theirs from. The only difference between Chevron, Petrocan and Tempo is the additives that they add. I would not hesitate to use Tempo gas In fact our family sold and used Tempo gas in all our cars for 5 years until we signed up with Shell(We are now a Esso).

Husky Energy is one of Canada's largest petroleum companies.

From there website:
Husky owns a portfolio of high-margin production in Western Canada, Eastern Canada and Asia. Production ranges from shorter-term shallow oil and gas production in Eastern Alberta to longer-life, deep oil and gas production in Western Alberta, Northeast British Columbia, Southwest Saskatchewan as well as the East Coast of Canada. Husky also has significant holdings in the Alberta Oil Sands and Southeast Asia.

i find that i get much less millage with gas from husky

[SkinnyPupp]

Sometimes I wonder where people get their "facts" from?

[03aspec]

well i was wrong, but now i know!

[kookoobird88]

ok so why is husky bad?
i did notice that i got like 40-60 more km a tank on chevron, is that becuase of what someone said early that 10% ethonal so it burns faster?

[NSX]

If youre gonna go to husky, go to Superstore haha. Get some shopping money out of it.

[TOPEC]

i heard from a friend of a friend whos dad owns a gas station that is really good friends with the manager of a oil export company that _________________________.
u fill in the blank.
and thats where they get their facts from.

Just because you "noticed" something, doesn't mean it was true. In other words, perception is often different from fact.

[AzNightmare]

Well damn, I only got 1/8 tank left, gas isn't getting any cheaper, and I'm sure confused whether to fill at Petro or Husky...

Going to the beach tomorrow, need to fill up tomorrow. :D
Maybe I should test it out and try Husky once... lol
afterall, it's not like I drive a super nicer car or anything.

[rageguy]

so we dont know for certain that husky is bad gas

[Lomac]

Just because you "noticed" something, doesn't mean it was true. In other words, perception is often different from fact.

Mohawk/Husky fuel actually does burn faster because of the ethanol. The ethanol is what allows Mohawk/Husky to sell a higher "base" octane gas at a better price than its competitors, but a direct side effect of running ethanol is that it burns much quicker.

If you guys think E10 gas is bad, try running E85! :lol

[Lomac]

so we dont know for certain that husky is bad gas

There's nothing wrong with Husky/Mohawk gas. As stated, you get less per tank because there's more Ethanol in it... meaning you get a higher octane gas for cheaper. It's up to you to figure out if it's worth the lower fuel mileage for H/M gas, or to pay more for it at another station.

[cdizzle_996]

101 or 107, its a difference of a few bucks? Quit being so god damn cheap.

[November]

It's not about being cheap.

A couple bucks every week adds up to a lot in the long run.

my work just ran E85 dispenser to see how it would react to a new pump. Pretty crazy stuff thats for sure.

[SkinnyPupp]

Yeah, if you save $3 per fill up every month, by the end of the year you could save like $36!!! Totally worth waiting in line for 30 minutes!

[November]

Well that's why he's asking.

If you only fill up once a month, kudos to you.

[tiger_handheld]

so i've read this 2x , and i still dont know why husky is bad.... can you guys stop beating around the bush, and share the info??

if you have no solid facts, please dont crap on husky... but if you do, crap like you got diarrhea..

[GordonTse]

i work at a dealership and all cars new/used/manager demo's use husky because the dealership has an account with them. no wonder used car manager's demo civic si gets so low km/tank compared to me.

[AzNightmare]

Well the only reason I'm being so nitpicky now is because I've started playing rollerhockey up in north van, and I don't live anywhere near north van... so my gas drains fast. I'm practically filling up once a week now...

I only need 87 octane for my Mazda3 though... so I don't think Husky's higher octane for cheaper price is gonna benefit me... so I guess I'll stick to Petro.

[hotjoint]

chevron ftw

[q0192837465]

get the 5c reward card from PetroCan, then u save a total of 7c/L

[Harvey Specter]

I don't know but everytime I see a Husky gas station I think cheap, bad gas.

[way2quik]

Same.
I try not to fill up at Husky, but then it doesn't 'really' matter to me that much.

[Dragon-88]

Chevron-Texaco FTW...

[Teriyaki]

i work at a dealership and all cars new/used/manager demo's use husky because the dealership has an account with them. no wonder used car manager's demo civic si gets so low km/tank compared to me.

That and the employees will beat the cars with complete disregard since its not theirs;). They'll just sell them as "executive demo's" later on

[scheng924]

so shell anygood?

[Manic!]

so shell anygood?

A few years ago they had a problem with there gas when they tried to change there additive formula cause some cars gauges to get must up but that problems been fixed. I think it's good as any other any gas.

[hotjoint]

my friend told me shell gas wasnt good for your car, I can't remember the reason though shit

[!LittleDragon]

I just fill with whatever cuz a car's a car and I don't give a crap as long as it meets the minimum octane and doesn't knock.

[taylor192]

Chevron has the best additives to keep your engine clean.

If you've seen a bent valve due to carbon build up, and know how much a head job is, you'll understand why its worth it to put these additives into your car.

So your telling me that BC has the lowest rate of bent valves in Canada because the rest of Canada does not have Chevron gas?

Really? I thought Shell was pretty good, since Ferrari and Shell have a pretty good relationship.. *shrugs*

You can assume any stupidity you want, read about the various additives and make a decision for yourself. I switched from Esso/PetroCan (terrible additives) to Chevron when I came out here. Chevron's Techron is awesome stuff.

[Dragon-88]

I remember back in the day shell had a contact with chevron in burnaby and purchased their gas from them and just added their additives... But that contact is over and shell now gets their gas in pipelines from alberta... One thing i noticed with shell (my mom is the only one in my family to buy shell becuase of the airmiles) in my moms 94 bmw, is that its a ficken boat now... Seems like it lost soo much power... I swear my new 09 corolla could beat this thing... I always have this feeling there is some gay sludge build up in the carb which is causing it to loose HP.. But i'm no mechanic, but based on that I find shell to be crap gas... I dont feel any HP loss when using chevron.. Plus the bmw has been babied.. So I concluded that its the gas thats teh problem..

exactly..
the ethanol boosts the octane for cheap
but ethanol produces less energy when burned than gasoline so you can't get as far on a tank

"A gallon of ethanol contains far less energy than a gallon of gasoline. In fact, because of its lower energy density (a gallon of regular gasoline contains about 114,000 Btu, while a gallon of E85 contains only 82,000 Btu) a gallon of E85 should cost no more than 72% what a gallon of gasoline costs to deliver an equal amount of energy."

[dark0821]

ya... thats why ethanol is used for aircare haha.. or what not i heard....
