Do you guys get Irving out there? That’s my preferred station of choice here in NS.

My go-to is Mobil, or whatever the stations are at Superstore/No Frills. Gotta collect those PC Points. Near as I can figure, it dnds up being similar in price to Costco.

That said, I really look forward to driving something electric.

Nope. Irving seems to be east coast only.

Longtime Chevron patron, but Husky and Petro-Canada have nice logos.

CO-OP is the king and this is not up for debate

What on earth is this strange looking Chevy pseudo minivan?

Co-op is obviously the best supermarket/taxi line/agricultural supply shop but I think their gas station designs are lacking.

I did also forget about UFA, which is probably the only gas station in the world that used to be a political party that also promoted eugenics . Alberta’s a fun province.

Allegedly there are Irving gas stations here in the Massachusetts, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. As soon as you cross over to New Hampshire though, they are everywhere along I-93. Always feels a bit off- brand to me since they don’t exist anywhere else I’ve lived. Doesn’t look like they have a US presence outside of New England:

I’d expect Canada to be a bit different, but I always find it a little weird in general how regional gas station brands can be. It was totally weird for me the first time I was in the Midwest and there were all these different gas brands I had never heard of.

It is based on the Cruze? *looks outside at my very slow Cruze* I can’t imagine that engine in a vehicle so much heavier, though the European ones  got some much better diesel engines. Looks like a fuglier Mazda5, and this is coming from someone who likes how Cruzes look.

Yep. Same platform. Is to the Cruze what the Mazda5 was to the 3, or the Rondo was to the Spectra/Forte.

Now that I think of it, it is wei rd that manufacturers just did that for one generation (mostly).

I feel sorry for everyone who doesn’t have the opportunity to experience this slice of paradise.

You forgot several gas stations such as: Kerfuffle Gas, Skookum’s #7, and Petrol 4 Less Loonies.

I mean, it’s a hell of a lot better than “Standard Oil Company of California”

New England is close to their home base of New Brunswick, so that makes sense!

There are a bunch of Kum & Gos in Colorado now, but very few in the metro Denver area. However, they are building one not far from my house and I can't wait. All of the gas stations in my area are hot garbage. Even the brand new Maverik is awful.

I found a $20 bill at a Kum and Go in Missoula MT. Name checks out.
