Yesterday I put $70 of 94 octane at PC got me just over 31 litres of gas @ 222.9 cents/litre

 

[Jdm127]

$105 at Costco a few weeks back and that was premium at $1.55 - yep she was empty. Can't ever remember putting more than $70 in my C7. Going to be an expensive summer!!

 

[OL Yeller]

A few weeks ago I put $126 in my C5, pretty much dead empty, gas has gone up about another 20 cents a litre since then

$2.03 for diesel this morning. 95 litres cost me $200 in the truck.

Fueled up the other day. $1.74/9 for premium. About the same price as I paid for diesel the other day too.

My sierra cruise to Falun AB today. Filled up at the COOP … premium at the price of YYC regular. Nice surprise (relatively) after 250km of dawn-driving … i’ll leave the diesel price out of the photo as it was 10 cents higher.

 

[OL Yeller]

Filled up the company Chevy 2500 yesterday with gas, it still had almost 1/4 tank at and it was $238...ouch..thank goodness for company fuel cards

 

[RockMan]

First fill or the season

 

[larryd]

I have some Enbridge shares , Hydro One(thks to our PC gov`t taking it public) and a few oil ones. Dividends help offset the price of gas somewhat.

It is what it is. Got to pay to play. When I can’t afford the car, it will become a memory. Not making light of the crazy gas prices but I can only complain about those things I can fix. Current gas prices should be the clear indicator that elections matter.

I agree, but what has changed in Alberta to warrant them raising gas prices? They can't blame the price of oil! "It cost us more to truck the oil to the refineries!" lol Greed certainly hasn't changed! lol

FYI Alberta has the lowest gas prices in the country. I can't speak to gasoline but I can tell you that two diesel refineries are shut down temporarily for refinery upgrades. That has increased pressure on the supply side. Here is where the costs are. These taxes are plus GST/PST plus carbon unless stated otherwise. Glad I don't live in Montreal.....

It's definitely smiles per miles Paul... The only reason I occasionally look at the price of gas is when I want to post it here for the envious comments from others across Canada... lol.. We don't drive $100k vehicles just to fret about that extra 30 cents per litre. The extra couple bucks to drive my Vette a hundred km means nothing...
