I used to frequent this Petro-Canada often many years ago on my way up to Whitchurch-Stouffville. Recently, I had left the Copper Creek area after running several errands. My fuel light lit up on my car's dashboard. I remembered this gas station and drove over.
This station has a number of pumps. The downside is that many were unavailable when I was there. I pulled next to one, got out of my car, and there was a faint message on the screen that said it was out of service. So, I had to climb back into my car and find another free one. Luckily, I found one.
There was a guy fuelling his car using the pump on the other side. He came over and was looking at the one that I wanted to use. Hey, buddy! I'm trying to back into this spot, but you're blocking my way. I could back into you and cause bodily harm, but I don't want your body to put a permanent dent in my car. He finally moved after a good minute. Sheesh!
Gas is a bit cheaper here compared to the rest of the GTA. I used my 407 ETR rewards to get a discount per litre on gas. I paid at the pump and left.
The convenience store was doing well. One of these days, I'll go in. This station also has a car wash. It had a good demand on a warm day as I left.
