We don't have cash prices here so you don't have to use a debit card. And NEVER leave your card inside a gas station as a deposit. Had that happen a couple of times here and left and went elsewhere.
You could try gasbuddy.com to find the better prices. It can fluctuate quickly in Canada and even at another station a block away.
When gassing up, it's better to do that on a Friday or Saturday as the oil companies typically raise the prices here on Sunday and Monday to snag drivers that are filling up for the work week ahead. Could be different outside the Metro Vancouver area, not sure. Around here you can tell what day of the week it is just by the gas prices... :(
