  • I just drove 800 km through the affected area.... other than gas being a bit more expensive, there is not an issue. It's just overblown media hype.
  • Petro Canada's now being closed in Manitoba,
    Poss eastern Canada soon??
  • The Petro gas shortage is because their refinery in Fort MacMurray was/is shut down due to the wildfire. It will be up and running sometime in the future.
  • Prince George has a refinery, thus no shortage of gas here.
  • Just did a little digging. It seems at least in this area it is primarily just one chain of gas stations. (Petro Canada)

    The joys of driving an electric car. :). I filled (charged) Angela's car last night while sleeping. Unfortunately one of our two vehicles is still an oil burner and it's below a quarter so ........ :)

    Angelas fuel station.
