No, this is not another rant about the bullshit price at the pumps. Instead, I'd like to know why it is that, the further you go OUT OF the city, the cheaper the gas prices get. Rabbitsturd is a full 13 cents a fuckin' litre less than downtown Van.
Gas Prices...WTF!!!!!!!!!!

IT is Translink and Gas Taxes
I heard from freinds that within the GVRD gas prices are higher due to the different type of taxes and levies you pay.
IE: Federal Taxes Transilt levey and many others
Thats why outside of GVRD Gas is cheaper !

Hmmm... let's see... spend $20 in gas to get to Abbotsford to save $5 for a net gain of -$15...sparkymacker said:
Fuck u very muchhardup said:Just went up here too 86.4 or 91 for Premium, but we still get the 3.5 cent instant rebate at the pump and the $400 just for living in God's country.
I just looked and there's a price difference of $18 on a tank for me in Rabby! Does anyone know if its GVRD/translink taxes or otherwise that make up the diff?
Not really. If your have a Save-On customer card,you can save 7.5 cents at save-On gas bar in Langley on 64th and 204th!In many occasions ,it is even a few cents cheaper than Abbotsfort.e.g. Last Thursday I filled up at 92.5cents minus 7.5 cents,so I actual paid 85.5 cents a litre!sparkymacker said:
I'm fairly sure that the GVRD tax adds about a dime a litre. The GVRD border is just east of "downtown" Aldergrove. The Safeway gas on Fraser Highway is inside the GVRD, but the station a half mile further east is outside. There's a new shell staion going in on the eastern fringe of Aldergrove, I'd bet that it's on the east side of the tax border. If you're out that way, gas up.
There are three stations (Husky, Super-Save & Shell - I think the place is called Silverdale) on Lougheed Highway - Hwy 7, just before you get to Mission that have cheap gas. If you live in Port Coquitlam, or points East, it's worth driving out there. The price at the pump is reduced further from the price shown on their sign.
Being frugal happens at many levels.massagelady said:
Whether you're buying a Ferarri or a gallon of gas for the lawnmower, it's always nice to pay a lower price...
Oh yeah, and that includes pooning as well...
Like Maury so kindly pointed out, frugality occurs on many levels.massagelady said:It's my pet peeve when guys are haggling about the price.
Usually I just tell them I am too busy
It's like how alot of workin' girls will register on perb and take part in the forums, often subtly hinting that they're 'working', but won't pay to advertise here. I assume that they are being frugal and hoping to maybe snare the odd session thru pms...
Simple! I am saving up every penny to visit my favourite lady!massagelady said:I must laugh reading this thread....
You guys don't mind spending hundreds of bucks for one hour's fun, but are counting the pennies at the gas pump?
What gives????
Other things I do save up ,i.e. pack my lunch instead of buying lunch, brew my own tea or coffee instead of spending $1.80 for a cup. You know they all add up!
Other people spend about $10 for lunch and coffee, for me I spend only $2.50 a day. 20 days a month will save over $150,plus saving in gas. All in all just save up another hour visit to my favourite lady per month!
