GREAT!!!!! Fantastic….bout time

Will the other gas retailers continue to gouge us right up until the Costco pumps open?? If so,hopefully at their peril…

Now hopefully the line up won’t be full of everyone and their kids waiting for a gas sample!

$1.319 at costco kamloops but what are the other stations charging?

All the other gas suppliers take note! Competition is arriving. Too bad they won’t have diesel!

Go to gasbuddy.com to track gas prices.

gasbuddy says that several Kamloops Esso, Petrocan and Shell stations are at 131.9 and Costco along with several other stations is 132.9
Wow, I think I can afford a new car with the savings Costco will bring!
*eyeroll*

I think I’ll hold judgment until it’s up and running. Think about it, would you wait 30 mins or more in line to save a penny or two a litre? My time’s worth more than that.

Here in Abbotsford Costco’s gas is the same as Superstore gas and Superstore gives a 3.5% rebate on their gas. So dont count on a big savings when Costco starts up their pumps.
cheers

Its a gas station. You may get a little perk on your membership but thats it. I’m waiting for the Costco Liquor Store or the Real Canadian Liquor Store. Gas gouges but tobacco and alcohol absolutely rake you over the coals. Go to Alberta and save on everything. A 30 dollar bottle of spirits in BC is 22 dollars there.

I hope they put in proper underground tanks and get it signed off by the City and provincial inspectors so that the City takes responsibility for future site degradation if it fails. …. LOL

Husky drains thousands of gallons a day to grade so Costco better not spill a drop..lol

Btw Gus.. To grade means onto the ground

Costco has decided to sell gas NOT because they feel that PG’ers need a break but simply because PG’ers are willing to pay more for their gas than nearly anyone else in the province. After Costco gas bar opens my bet is that we will still be unreasonably higher than other places. Big bonus for Costco over their other locations.

I still dont understand how everyone figures PG pays more than anywhere else. Right now we are 5 cents BELOW the provincial average, for example…

Dump the liberal carbon tax scam and the price could drop 7 cents right now.

For those of you that believe in this plant growing Co2 reduction scam the contribution BC would make to world temps in fifty years would be .003 of a degree, wow. Like I said if you believe in that stuff

Now here is a good read

Gasin the City of Vancouver is $1.50 per liter and in Abbotsford its $1.30 per liter

Sorry, the gas price in Vancouver sits at $154.9 per liter this am. The gas price in Langley is $138.4 and that includes Costco.

I thnk most are hoping to much from this gas station. I think they will just join the monopoly we have here in pg. every company is screwing us over.. Why should they be any different

Gas price in Comox three weeks ago was a $1.309 when it was $1.429 here in PG. In Victoria it was $1.349 at the same time. So we were paying 12-cents a liter more than Comox when we have a refinery here in town and they have to bring their fuel to the island by ferry.

With a 12-cent spread one could fuel up a fuel truck at the pumps in Comox and deliver it to PG and still sell it less than the $1.429 we were paying. Thats a 54-cent per gallon spread and clearly PG is being gouged by our off shore owners of Huskey Oil.

The gouge is akin to a tax to the oil company of about $12 a week (for a pickup truck) or $624 a year to develop the infrastructure in China. Clearly charge as much as the public can possibly bear. When Gateway Pipeline goes through if it does it will be even worse as they jack up the oil prices to what China is willing to pay.

Eagle: “Clearly charge as much as the public can possibly bear. When Gateway Pipeline goes through if it does it will be even worse as they jack up the oil prices to what China is willing to pay. “

So what you’re saying is that the market can bear higher prices? Don’t let the gas companies hear you say that.

If Gateway goes through, I’m sure it will be blamed for everything from gas prices to bad weather.

I have a bold prediction to make:

I say that it won’t matter what the price of gas in PG is (even when Costco starts up their pumps), people will continue to complain that they are getting gouged and that it is unfair because there is a refinery in town.

Not only that, but when people suggest that the best way to curb their gas costs is to use less (drive less and/or purchase more fuel efficient vehicles), people will say that they NEED their big trucks and SUV’s for the harsh winter conditions and because of their jobs.

Bank on it . . .

A pox on these dastardly corporations that charge what the market will bear. I wish some of these charitable people that would keep prices low just to be nice would open some business’ around here. ;)

Curmudge, let’s see you refut any of the information. I will be waiting. With your biased criticism I can tell you never read the post. You really should, might learn something.

I suppose you hang on to the words of a bug doctor.

You folks bitching about the oil companies ever look at the taxes? South of the border gas is almost 2 bucks a gallon less. Taxes folks, taxes. Though I do agree its strange that PG always seems to be high. Oh the middle east still controls oil prices world wide.

Pval you got proof Husky dumps onto the ground. Sounds just a little bit out there, just a little bit.

Maybe Australia will destroy the oil sands economic viability and we can use the pipelines to import fair priced oil from them?

New discovery in Coobe Pedy in Australia is said to have 233 billion barrels of sweat crude. That’s more than all of Canada and some say more even than Saudi Arabia claims to have. Whats more its hot and at a high pressure close to the surface and they figure they could pump each well for well over 60-years. Some say it will signify the end of OPEC controlling oil prices due to the low cost of extracting it. Rudd just threw Julian Gillard under the bus in a hostile takeover of the Australian and his first act as Prime Minister was to announce the removal of the carbon tax so as to make Australia competitive again… his plan is to replace it by next year with a carbon trading scheme that will allow coal companies to invest in Coobe Pedy for carbon credits as a way of fighting CO2 with cleaner fuels.

If that goes as planned, which all indications it will, then the Alberta oil sands will have already seen their brightest days of price gouging to make an uneconomical industry economical.

One can only hope.

Why do you want to fight c02? Show the facts.

Not sure what you mean Seamutt. I don’t advocate the carbon tax. I think it is an elitist regressive tax on low income and middle class people based on pseudo science. More a form of leveling the economic field between nations, than anything to do with climate control. It takes away economic advantage, so that all that we have left to compete with is the cost of our labor. Good for China, but bad for middle class based economies.

That said I don’t like pollution. If someone can burn natural gas rather than coal, than I think thats a good thing.

Think again eagleone natural gas is bad too. Now what are we going to do?

Wow, that’s quite the exaggeration on the Australian oil find.a possible 3.5 to 233 billion barrels of,

“n a statement to the Stock Exchange, the company said reports from US-based consultants indicate underlying rock formations “are rich in oil and gas-prone kerogen”

You know there is a difference between light sweet crude and kerogen prone shale formations
