My gas study

That was a joke about the age of an average Co-op shopper. If you ever want to feel young, go into the Co-op near Heritage.

That's a weird stereotype. It's a grocery store. Everyone needs to buy groceries. I can't say I've ever noticed the ages of people in Co-op are any different than the ages of people in any other grocery store. It's the same mix of people who live/work in the general area of the store. Like you would expect.

I was at Midtown Market Co-op yesterday, and as always, it was full of MILFs.



Back to the topic, why would you fill up at Co-op regularly and not use the grocery coupons they give you, it's free money? If you buy 50 litres of gas, you get $1.50. Go buy a loaf of bread, a carton of milk, a bag of chips, etc.

The 2nd time I used it in the city, didn't notice a difference. But I've never been one to measure KM/tank so its hard to notice a difference over 1.5 weeks.

In theory you are probably right, but I notice a small difference. Not really worth the price difference.

Congratulations in that case.

You've defeated physics!

It is not that difficult to calculate #L/100km or #km/1L:

1. Fill up the tank at Station A, reset odometer to 0
2. Drive
3. On the next fill up, note the odometer reading and the amount you have just filled up (it will be on the receipt)
4. There you go, your fuel efficiency from fill up #1 at Station A can be calculated by the dividing the milage on the odometer reading by the Litres of gas you just filled up
5. Repeat the process with Station B, C, D, etc...

The OP almost got it, he just need to dig up the old receipts and do some math...

I use the road trip app. Does it all for me. I fill up at CO-OP because I didn't see any difference between Shell and CO-OP gas. That's using 87 octane. My truck (ecoboost) does not like Husky gas though. It starts to knock.

Except he was measuring to when the fuel light clicked on, which is a pretty imprecise measurement. If he used the odomoter to measure between fills that would be different.
