I have been noticing around Calgary, that the smaller stations like "Gas Plus" and the ma & pa stations are out of reg & mid grade. They say they have premium and diesel, but when those run out....... Then what???
Or would the bigger manufacturers have a large supply and nothing to be concerned about, other then them spiking the prices...
Anywhere else experiencing this?

They just said on the news that Petro Canada announced that the shortage is coming to an end. Should be getting back to normal right away.

So how did everything still work? I mean there must have been a few people with days off, seeing how they didn't gas up

Think it was only a petro can issue with shell,Esso fallowing. Not all were out in the okanagan. Here everyone went down for two-three days but a private supplier keeper us going at the bulk plant. Not sure about the average joe but a few days off would be nice. Makes one think what would happen if we ran dry....mad max comes to mind. Fuel controls us all!

My brother in-law had trouble finding premium for our dirt bikes on the weekend. It took him 3 stations in sherwood park to finally find some.
