^ what about someone like Parkland? Surely their gas is going somewhere here as they're local and while I know they have FasGas they probably sell to others?

Like gallione11 I heard this from a mechanic, which is why I ask the question. I don't know how true it is either, but he told me that with the cheaper gas (at places like Superstore, Costco, etc.) there is all kinds of junk in it.

Parkland buys from the majors too. They own Esso and Chevron stations as well actually. They don't own a functioning refinery.

I mean, its possible that an individual station could do some sketchy stuff with their gas and have poor maintenance, but the product going in the tanks is almost certainly from the majors.

Its funny how I remember being appalled to pay 70 cents a litre for Gasoline as Oil started to run up in 2000. Today at 68 cents a litre, I feel like I should start drinking the stuff. Its cheaper than coffee.

I hear that if you drink a gallon you'll never have to worry about the price of a gallon.
