mad.gif yeah the oil companies seem to have us where they want us. No real competition here as soon as one gas station changes prices they all do and it's the same price right down to the penny. Sure strange that gas prices are cheaper in Alaska and the Yukon than further south in BC or the US west coast. Unfortunately for us we will all pay a lot more to enjoy RVing.

I use diesel so flyingj is often my "stop of choice".

Hi pianotuna,
I use Diesel for my car and regular gas for my truck. There is no Diesel engine for small trucks in North America. Right now, in our area, 85 km east of Montreal, gas is 1.149$ per litre and Diesel is 0.949$ per litre.

Hi wprigge,

You might find flying J You can check the prices for diesel in Quebec here:

http://www.flyingj.com/fuel/diesel_CF.cfm?state=QC

They are branded as Shell rather than FlyingJ in the west--but the receipt says Flying J

The whole flying J site is at:

http://www.flyingj.com/

I'm paying 85.9 at flying J for diesel. The other stations all charge 94.9 for diesel.

The local gas stations charge 121.9 for regular unleaded.

Nice to hear from a fellow Canadian!
