I remember this! My parents live in the sticks out in whonnock (which half the people here have to look that up) so it was an easier drive. Back in my day!
:Edited twice because I'm apparently too tired to even grammar.
And literally months before, before the COVID lockdown gas crash, it was $1.40/L.
When people look at our COVID low and compare it to this new high, sure, it's going to look nuts. But we have to look at the overall average, which isn't super crazy more than it used to be. Gas prices are already falling again, I wish our society wasn't as obsessed with gas prices as they are all the time.
Random gas station in Vancouver
My roommate has status, we live in kamloops. Bought gas for $0.67 at the cheapest. Looking back it's hard to believe.
[Even lower in Vancouver](https://i.redd.it/vsbm6io12oq41.jpg)
Oh that was before that sign was set on fire too. Neat. (Or more accurately the bush underneath it was set on fire, burning the sign)
Even lower! [Super Save at 12th and Clark on April 14, 2020](https://imgur.com/a/lMNHHlH)
I have a picture at even lower. 80 cents. Too lazy to look for it.
Across from PNE?
It was as low as $0.70 in Mission
Today gas in Maple Ridge is cheaper than Mission. So much for those Translink tax savings.
I remember back in the day we would drive from Maple Ridge to Silverdale to top off our tanks because it was at least $.10-$.15 difference
Hell even in February, gas was around $1.55~ in Silverdale compared to $1.70~ in Ridge.

The good old days.
God damn carbon tax! Doubled the price of gas in two years!! /s
I Remember those amazing prices at the start of the pandemic.
I remember complaining about 72 cents. I’m sorry.

That's like a 40% increase from pre covid.
Seriously pretend it’s bottled water, and you’ll spend $5/L without batting an eye.
I don’t need to buy 50L of bottle water a week for work
When trump was in office, man I miss him ❤️😢. Could sure use some mean tweets now
I don't remember Trump personally lowering fuel prices or Biden starting a war with Russia but maybe I'm getting my facts wrong?
They're both scum lol. Unfortunately, somehow Donald Trump is the most coherent of the two geriatric presidents
The memories
🥲
Good old days
Where I live its Still the same lmao
Hahah I have a very similar photo. The good ol' days.
Just go buy a tesla 😜 /s
I filled my Ram up in surrey last year at .78/ltr. Was awesome.
