If you ever come to B.C. Canada remember that a gallon of gas is well over $5.00 a gallon & come July lst there is a Carbon Tax going on as well.

Tack in that there is a screw-up in paying for your fuel. No longer are you able to fill up & then go to the office or store & pay for your fuel. You have to guess how much you need, tell them, then fill up. If you were a bit short then your tank is not filled up, but if you said to much is money then you can shut off & you will get the exchange in coins.

True in some cases, presently, I think a few have pumps where you gas card can be put into use or your debit card, the number is taken, & then whatever you take, along with pressing what octaine be it 87, or 90 or 91.

Sort of screwd up over to many filling up & taking off without paying. Seems a 21 yr old tried to stop one from STEALING the fuel they had taken in & ran over him to drag him to death some distance.

True a bit screwie, but that is what it is like in this part of B.C. Canada.
