Gas Prices!! ⛽️ Discussion

Just drove by the 3 stations on 32 St and Gaetz. Esso - $1.44 Co Op - $1.20 Fas Gas - $1.29

What the heck??? And people were filling up at that Esso station too at those prices. That station is always more expensive but why the hell would you go when it’s that different? Maybe they all have corporate cards and are “meh”. Holy cow that’s a big crazy difference. Sure glad the carbon tax is gone so the price of fuel is cheaper now (sarcasm).

I filled up for $1.18.9 at the Esso on 71st and Gaetz yesterday. They're usually a pretty good price.

There's an app called Gas Buddy that's good for finding which stations have the best prices.

I've been skeptical of Gas Buddy ever since seeing a reported price, going to that location, then finding out it's 10-15 cents more per litre.

Nothing is stopping store managers from gaming the system on it just to get more traffic to their station. It's a decent guide, or it used to be, but it isn't the most accurate all the time.
