The Great Canadian Gas Station Thread

[SignalHillHiker]

We've one left downtown, but we've been down to just one for decades now. It was Ultramar until very recently.



Our biggest is, I assume, Costco in Galway.



And my fave, of course, are the local North Atlantic ones - they're just so cheerful. I believe they're also now owned by Irving, but with a commitment to maintain the local branding, similar to previous arrangements with Loblaws (locally Dominion), and Molson/Labatt (locally Dominion, India, Jockey Club, Blackhorse, Blue Star, etc.).



There's also Esso (generally with a Tim's) and, I think only one, Shell (with a Needs Convenience).

Some that I recall as being in unique/tight locations.

https://goo.gl/maps/gWurbBSLxc9K5qZ69 I remember this fairly minimalist one in Paris..no canopy above the pumps, no double drive-thru lane of F150's idling waiting for lukewarm beige water allegedly called coffee here.

https://goo.gl/maps/c3XvzoY52nXV6Mis8 Probably the nicest one near me. It doesn't show the prices and it is full serve only which should give you a clue that it is expensive.

Over 3 CAD a litre though!

The price you pay for living in Paris I guess. I have a cousin who lives in the outskirts of Paris and when he came here for a visit he couldn't believe how cheap gas was and how quickly the price can change literally on an hourly basis.

I recall that gas was expensive in Monaco..surprise, surprise. Driving there is fun.

And the former gas station across the street (built by P.E. Trudeau's father in 1934) that looks like a Disney Land utility shed has a heritage designation.

I know I'm cheating because this isn't in Canada but I just loved the name of this place. (Savannah Georgia)
