We used to have Esso Petrol Stations but haven't for decades now.Quote from: "caskur"
They've kept Esso alive here though!
That said, Petro-Canada is the only sole remaining gas station 'entity' that isn't foreign owned... I believe Suncor owns Petro Canada.
The rest are American, Euro, or Chink.

I bought petrol for $1.06 two days ago. That is the lowest I have paid in 5 years.

Usually Inefficient, often of stock, poor quality selection, bad customer service - not always but often.
Gas pumps break down, employees forget to put paper in them when u request a receipt.
Stores are usu dirty.
They'd rate as 'Brand X' of the gas stations.
Chevron often has the best cleanest operations in Vancouver.

I do. If someone can't fuel up their own car, they shouldn't be driving!
On a related note, Richmond and Coquitlam both have bylaws in place stating that an attendant must pump your gas for you, although that requirement is loosely observed. It stems back to decades ago, about preserving jobs, and has nothing to do with safety.
Oddly enough, the Taghum Shell here in the Koots is still full serve. I was taken by surprise when they started filling up my truck! I think that's the only one in the entire region that does that here though...

That's a battle between the Arabs and the Russians, who've then decided to dump a bunch of cheap oil into the marketplace.
Already started just before the World got the Shanghai Shivers...

The old pumps... You had to pump the gas into a glass tank on top of the pump..
Just so you know how much you are putting in.
I understand why there was a need for the pump supervisor..

The lack of freeways in vancouver is ridiculous how do you get from hwy 99 to hwy 1 without spending an hour in city street traffic? At least calgary and Edmonton have ring roads

I mean well lit, 3 lane each direction roads that dont have any curves..
Our roads are primitive dirt roads when compared to the central-european road-network.
When I become the president, I will build one big road through the entire length of Finland...
And then have all cities and people moved on the side of the road.

I left it nine Septembers ago. People were still bugging me for spare change at the airport as I left. Anyone who tries to sell you the reason Batman must be Chinese because he's rich obviously never spent any time in Vancouver.Quote from: "Guest"
It's disgraceful what happened to Vancouver. I was born there actually (St. Paul's), but one knows when it is time to go...
Vancouver only works now for those that are extremely rich, or extremely poor.
