Save Money By Buying Gas At Night
The gasoline price gouging has gone on long enough in Vancouver – stations raise the price each morning and drop them later in the day. The average increase is 16-20 cents a gallon surcharge for the convienience of buying gas in the daylight.
I asked a sampling of station managers why they do this, and all replied that they are instructed to by head office. This happens at all stations and defies any kind of logic.
The only way to stop the oil companies from ripping us off (as if $6 a gallon isn’t a rip off on its own) is to let them know this unethical practice is common knowledge – don’t buy gas during the day.
Plummeting revenue from the lack of sales during their daylight rip-off will get their attention…
By the way, the same goes for beer – did you know they charge more for cold beer? Buy the warm only.

I agree with you. The oil companies are ripping us off – and the pricing by time of day is salt on the wound.
My question is why is it that oil has fallen by 20% and are still paying peak price (1.44 a litre).
They’ll say that it takes time for lower priced gas to work though the system… but they instantly raise the price when the world price goes up.
Ask questions people.
