There should have a twitter account for GasTips.com or at least an RSS feed for each page... that would be helpful for tracking prices.

Gas price vs. Oil, by Wightman |
reply Jan 16, '09 9:05 PM |
... Amazing isn't it? Price of oil sinks to U$35/Bbl. and price of Gas at the pump rises daily ... .95/ltr.
... When is this bloody thievery ever going to stop?
... what it needs is for some of these Oil company execs to be charged and jailed for a few years ... That might do it.

Cheaper gas in Ontario, by Wightman |
reply Dec 19, '08 10:37 AM |
... The price of oil is currently at $35.25/Bbl. yet the price of gas at the pump is stubbornly hanging in at 83.5/ltr in the Surrey Langley area. Strangely enough, it's in the very low 60's in eastern Ontario. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Price disparity., by Wightman |
reply Dec 7, '08 12:47 PM |
... Why is the price of gas in BC still in the 80 to 90 cent range when the price in Washington State is in the low 50's? ... Not to mention the price of oil is at $40/Barrel ... more gouging by the oil companies?

Anyone else have problems with diesel at Superstore?, by melipie |
reply Sep 23, '08 8:10 PM |
I filled up my tank (56 litres) on Monday late afternoon. One Tuesday morning My car would not start. I filled with diesel (that is what my car takes). I am just wondering if anyone else had problems with the diesel. My father in law said that the diesel smells like gas... So it would screw up my car. I doubled checked my receipt and it states diesel. I have a feeling that Superstore may have put the wrong fuel in the diesel tank. The car is on the way to the garage and if that is the problem, I will be sure to send the bill to Superstore for their screwup.

Well it is 4 days till Gordie gets more money through gas taxes. No $100 check yet. Long weekend and I am sure the price of gas will be rising more than 2.34 cents a liter this weekend or before.
If you don't support the BCLiberals go to the NDP website and sign their petition. Support the NDP Party in the next Election.

INCORRECT GAS PRICES BEING POSTED IN VICTORIA, by ITSME |
reply Dec 12, '07 5:50 PM |
I only posted these Victoria site prices to catch your attention & that of the moderators.
Unfortunately the credibility of this site in Victoria has been severely abused by an individual(s) poster who constantly, during recent months has posted the incorrect prices for 3 stations. Posters, SPEEDY, BLUE BETTLE, & RED HOT ROD, whom I believe is the same person with many different aliases, continues to post bogus prices for the Shell on Oak Bay Ave, the Esso on Fort St, & the Shell on Fairfield & Cook.
Shell on Oak Bay Ave is actually 107.9, not 106.9 as posted.
The Shell on Fairfield 7 Cook is 107.9, not 106.9 as posted.
The Esso on Fort St is 107.9, not 111.9 as posted.
This individual appears to have a personal vendetta, but upon my many, many requests to the site, moderator, Mr. Greg Webster continues to allow the continuation these bogus price posts.
While trying to bring this to Mr. Greg Webster's attention, he just took the easy way out, and not caring about the gastips site in Victoria, simply refuses to do nothing about it.
You'll notice that the site has only 3 - 4 posters, three of which are the same person, using aliases.
Nobody seems to care, but possibly if someone with authority could forward this note to the www.gastips.com Head Office, changes could be made at the local Victoria site level to return the credibility it deserves.
Currently the site here in Victoria IS A JOKE, & Greg Webster should be held accountable.
Thanks for any assistance you might, or can be.
Rob

Isn't it odd some people think Sumas, Washington is part of Abbotsford. And these same "anonymous" contributors can not figure out to mention it where it belongs, in the "US: WA border towns (Can$)"

fight back, by merit |
reply May 1, '07 11:41 AM |
As I said in a previous feedback, there is a way to fight these guys. You can't stop using gas but what you can do is stop using a gas company that supplies gas. Pick a company like Esso to start with and if everyone just boycotted these guys, they will start to drop their prices. I am considering taking out an ad in the Province saying just that. Start with Esso or PetroCan and stay away from their stations. Put the squeeze on these bastards! Even if 10% of the lower mainland stopped using Esso, it will hurt them at the end of the day.

Re: fight back, by gouging-hurts |
reply May 15, '07 1:40 AM |
Hey, I'm all for boycotting a selected gas station, but will it make a difference if more people got involved, too??!! I mean, some way, some how, the fuel corporations,and our honest government(yeah right), will still win in the long run! Greediness is the root of all evil. We, the hard working average joe, have no choice but to empty our pockets bone dry! What pisses me off, is the many families, or single moms, out there,who are on fixed budgets, and low wages! Where is the balance here,between our taxes in general(and in the fuel) and the high cost of living??!! Increase the minumum wage, or something, so some balance can be seen. I may not make some sense in what I'm saying, but I am sure you see my frustrations, eh??!! I WILL BE PARTICIPATING ON MAY 15/07, DON'T BUY GAS DAY! I HOPE IT HURTS THE FUEL COMPANIES..............HARD!!!

reply Mar 16, '07 11:08 PM |
Well, here we are - Spring Break. Kids out of school & all wanting to go somewhere to get away from the wet coast & what do our friendly Oil Companies do? - Why jack up the price at the pump. $1.14 across the board almost for Surrey & Langley & they still have the gall to tell us there is no collusion? Balderdash!
Nationalize the industry now! This is outright robbery.

Taxation of the Masses or, better known as - - -GOTCHA!, by Wightman |
reply Mar 10, '07 10:29 AM |
Well, there you have it. Kevin Falcon has spoken & his word is law! The Transit Board will be replaced by a board of mayors. The GVRD tentacles will now spread from Chilliwack to Pemberton. This is supposed to occur almost immediately, & all residents in this vast area will now pay the hated Transit Tax on their gasoline purchases. Did you ever notice how these money grubbing politicos always tell us that taxation is for the good of the masses? Do they include themselves? Go green they tell us. Get on the bus. But how do they live? Did you ever meet a Politician who regularly uses the bus? I haven't, but I have asked one. The answer was; I'm so busy I can't afford the time or I would take the bus. So there you have it again folks. Our time has no value. Just keep working & pay your taxes - it's GOOD for you.

High prices again, by Wightman |
reply Feb 24, '07 4:28 PM |
I wonder what caused the price of gas to jump from as low as 88/ltr to 1.05/ltr on the morning of Wednesday, Feb 21/07 this past week??? Maybe you have an answer Blue Car??? A significant increase such as this must be the result of a major problem somewhere, I wonder what that problem was??? Come on, give us an answer to this perplexing question. Surely the oil companies wouldn't raise their prices for no good reason (other than greed) - would they??? I hear there's a Federal politician wanting an investigation opened up on gas pricing. Does that mean he does not trust the oil companies either???
Does anyone else have any ideas as to why this occurred???

high gas prices, by jobanz |
reply Jan 19, '07 8:42 PM |
Have you guys read the article in Vancouver Sun last Saturday about the high gas prices here in Greater Vancouver? It seems based on that report that the culprit are those big oil refineries. Their profits have risen almost 100% compared to the profits they got same time last year. The filling stations profits have remained constant up to the present. So why is our provincial gov't not doing anything to protect us poor consumers from these blood sucking refineries? Can they just dictate whatever price they want and disregard the gas price trend throughout the country? They say that it's partly because of lack of competition but I say they are conniving with one other to set the price particularly high. So I say let's agree on a particular course of action so they will know that we are not taking this abuse lightly. So what do you have to say about these guys?

Re: high gas prices, by Wightman |
reply Jan 20, '07 5:31 PM |
We're told we must expect to pay "World" pricing for our gasoline.- - - Isn't Venezuela in this world? Their Gasoline is less than .20cents/US gal. - That's why Dubbya Bush doesn't like their President. He keeps the price down so that his people can afford it. - So lets meet part way - lets agree to pay $1/gal. - that's 5 times or more than the Venezuelans pay. Don't forget the same world Oil Companies are still making a profit even at this ridiculously low price. There's only one answer to this problem - - - NATIONALIZE the bastards! This is what the Oil Companies would most fear. - So start campaigning for government to - NATIONALIZE the Oil Industry.
Of course, you'd have to vote NDP to make it happen, & who wants that bunch of idiots running the country???
