Heres a tip for the drivers out there.

Gas prices for the last 3 weeks atleast have been their lowest by 7pm every night.

they change the price at 7amish, 3pmish, 7pmish, and 11pm ish.

if you take a better look prices are usually b/w 102 and 106 a litre at all times unless its b/w 7 and 11 pm when theyre usually 90-94.

im cheap ok.

very true.. he is correct.... on the way to work .. at 6am gas is at 104... on the way home its 99 and later on in the evening its 94...

and this is the same station and it has been happening for a few weeks now.. just buy gas in the evening.. its cheapest then.
ifeel sorry for the gas attendants who have to change the signs 100 times a day.. unless they got digital signs

And diesel? What say you about that? I don't even notice if it changes... If I need fuel, I need fuel. There's no "oops I ran out" with diesel. It's "oops I fucked my car bc I didn't fill up". And it's not just sitting on every corner. Good thing it lasts a long time!

For the last couple of weeks it's been like watching a stinkin' lottery wheel, with the prices all over the map!

Last week, I filled up in N. Van for 106.9, and 1/2h later, in E. van, drove past 2 places @ 97.9, fer chryssakes!!! Lawrd, the cursing...

I'm rarely going the same way (I get sent all over the place), so I really don't get the chance to monitor any particular station(s).

Cheers for the tip, though!!!

If anyone is into exploring a bit, you can probably find some gas at ~60 cents in rural areas near port coquitlam etc.
