Some Petro's in Calgary ran out last weekend, but have since managed to get a few shipments. As far as I know, Suncor are the only ones really effected so far. Hope it doesn't last too long

I went and filled up yesterday. Managed to roll up and fill up, by the time I was done things were getting pretty busy and bit of a line had formed. Good for the next month.
Kelowna receives its gasoline from Kamloops, where it is supplied via the TransMountain pipeline via Edmonton. The first gas stations to be affected by the shortage in Kelowna are Petro-Canada stations, but others are expected to be affected soon.

Stopped off at the Costco gas bar in Okotoks tonight and paid 94.9 cents a litre for gas. There were long lineups as drivers were eager to fill up with cheap gas. Meanwhile the Shell station down the road was a ghost town trying to sell gas at 109.9

Id rather get my gas quicker and head on home.
Don't understand the hype of idling in your car for a bit of savings.

The time wasted for getting gas at Costco doesn't make sense to me. My car takes 60 litres let's say I fill up 50 litres which is usually what I fill. That's $7.50 for a 30-45 minute wait. If someone offered me $7.50 to idle in the heat for 30 minutes I'd call them crazy and to go pound sand.
Not to mention you are idling your car which everyone knows is unneeded pollution.

I think I've waited 15 to 20 minutes maximum before and if I ever have to wait I always shut off my car.
