This place thinks that they are the Holt of gas stations.
As many of you know, Petro-Can charges more than most. In this day of overpriced gas, my latest game is "find the cheapest gas." Sometimes, I end up driving all over in this game, and spend way more gas driving, only to end up at the spendy place. So I wouldn't really recommend this game, overall. :)
I used to have a 10 cents off a litre card for petro-can, so I was a loyal (read sucker) consumer. That was, until my card expired, and I realized that my 10 cents off was not much less than people were paying anywhere else.
Every time I leave Safeway and decide to get gas here at 8 or 9 at night, they close up. BAM. Not open. It's like they are Holt's staff watching me enter their store wearing K-mart brand. (Well, not exactly, but you get the point.)
8:30? 9:00? Are you kidding me? Are we becoming Victoria? Do they see me shopping at Safeway, making the left hand turn, towards the gas station and then an alarm goes off as if to say, "she's coming, quick, hide in the bathroom." The lights are always still on, and I KNOW someone is in there. But no gas for me.
So annoying. Why should I have to buy my gas in the day? What do I look like, a kept woman? I'm switching to Esso or somewhere else with crappy points. Maybe I can sell my petro-points on ebay with 10 cents off for the card. read more
