Sucks dude, Id rather have variability amoung gas stations and have lower pricse, than ahve all stations the same price, but a higher price (as it ends up being) |
i don't want to be off topic, there's a minimal fixed price so that the big chains don't start price wars to kill the independants... ever seen gaz at 30 and 40 cents???
but the big difference is because there's almost not as many refineries in Quebec as compared to Ontario so less competition. |

I think we should all list the cheap gas rates we see around town. I'm personally glad to see the price dropping, and hopefully it continues that way (but I won't hold my breath).
If you haven't noticed, Thurs nights seems to be the cheapest night of the week.
Right now at the No Frills by my house (Carlaw & Gerrard) its 79.3 cents. I bought it there a couple hours ago when it was 81.3. Now I know to wait til its dark. ;) |
I use this site for almost 3 yrs, the best prices will drop at 10pm - 12am. Nat the cheapest gas of all of TO is in your area, O'Conner and Coxwell.
Use this site and set it to your local area.

obvious man says: gas is always cheaper after dark... esp. past 12am. |
not quite... the gas stations by my house start to drop their prices around 8pm and that's when the lineups start to form. After midnight the prices go back up.
Lowest price I saw last night was 75.5 @ Lawrence & Kennedy 11:30pm |

Gas is still 104.9 in Thunder Bay.
I nearly fell over when I saw the price in Toronto. |

it's not that they fix their prices.. they just tax gas way more then in say Ontario.. |

I hate it when the gas stations lines are pouring onto the streets, and people start honking there horns because ppl are lined up on the streets, or when people start trying to bud in line at the pumps...
Dont get it, just go around if they are pouring onto the streets.
And if there is a line wait your turn, its not like they are going to jack up the price while ur standing in line... people with no patients. |

In Quebec the provincial sales tax applies and in the Greater Montreal area there's a 1.5 cents for the developpement of mass transit.
So on a buck worth of gaz, we have an additional 9 cents. But that doesn't explain why there's a 15 cents and more between Montreal and Toronto. In my previous posts i explained why. |
