I went there at 10 am, only about a 15 min wait, I was there 3 times and didn't have to wait that long, and habsfan10, to correct you...it was $1.05 per Litre at the CT on Rothesay Ave.


PS:as for wasting gas during the wait.....turn off the vehicle.....like I did...no waste there.

Actually a gasoline fuelled engine uses more fuel during start up than during a short idle.

When you turn the key to start the engine, the computer opens all of the injectors fully and dumps as much fuel as it can to get the engine to start.

Sometimes just letting the engine idle is better.

I had to chuckle as I was driving down Rothesay Ave and seen all these people lining up for gas and thinking to my self, man people are stupid Sure it is nice that they dropped the price 10 cents but do the Math....My car takes 60 litres to fill it up that is a $6 saving. Now the line around supper time was all the way back down ashburn lake rd is saving $6 worth waiting in line almost and hour and burning $2 to $10 depending on what you are driving?

Call me stupid then too because for me a half hour wait was well worth it when it came to filling my truck. I saved alot because I was pretty well empty. I waited until Thursday to fill it and quite enjoyed the wait and got to talk to lots of people. So I really don't care if people call me stupid.....

Be that as it may, math is great, I love math....but we rarely get any breaks whatsoever nowadays,, so when I see a chance to save a buck, im gonna take it.
