Cashback credit card, done

Coincidentally, $7 every 300L. I drive about 27,500km/yr since my move. That's 91.6-> 92x a year you get the bonus. 92 x $7 = $644

My AMEX plat at 2% CB would only net $69.15

27,500 ÷ 100 × 7.4L = 2035L ×$ 1.699 = $3,457.47/yr × 2% CB = $69.15

Willing to wager most of us here driving turbo vehicles are filling up with 91/94, even if their vehicle can run on 87.

Can't be driving with a lack of power, even as it drains my bank account FeelsBadMan

2035L/300L = 6.78
If your getting $7 every 300L that's $48
Unless you mean $7 every 300kms.

Is it really saving money, if you have to punch the accelerator harder to get moving at the same pace?

Shell is doing 5c off per litre with air miles card right now until the 21st. I found out by chance yesterday filling up my car.

I fill my cars at most once every 2 weeks, sometimes longer. $100 a month is not chump change imo, but its not like I can't afford it.

It is a personalized offer that you're getting? Cuz the only one that I'm seeing right now is the standard crappy offer that they are advertising:

https://www.airmiles.ca/en/offers/pa...il-canada.html

Get 1 Mile for every 10 L Shell V-Power premium fuels*
Get 1 Mile for every 20 L Shell Bronze, Silver and Diesel fuels**
Get 1 Mile for every $5 spent on car wash or in-store products***

Coren 07-09-2021 05:39 PM

For Journie rewards you also get 3c/L off if you are paying with a linked cibc credit/debit card.
Points accumulate super fast when they have promos on that are 3x the points when purchasing premium fuel

Found the page yesterday couldn't find it again.

It's automatically presented when you swipe your air miles card and it asks if you want to use you 5cpl offer.

What the fuck is going on here

westopher 02-13-2022 12:35 PM

Supply chain issues!
Inflation!
Cost of goods skyrocketing!

Yet somehow companies are turning record profits and CEO pay is higher than ever. Just sounds like it’s just gotten easier to fuck us and find excuses.

320icar 02-13-2022 01:09 PM

I’m just frustrated with the cost of everything right now. The amount of money people have to make is fucking insane

mikemhg 02-13-2022 01:25 PM

I remember when gas hit $1.70 in the past, and people went fucking insane.

It's only winter right now, and we're there. When will people stand up and question what's going on? It takes a fucking vaccine mandate, yet we're completely passive and complacent to the utter corruption within this country/province that directly affects our lives.

It's baffling to me.

whitev70r 02-13-2022 03:41 PM

Yah, I saw $1.80 for reg today. Anything to do with border blockage by protesters? Maybe in ON but shouldn't be here, the one at Truck crossing just started yesterday and was disbursed.

dark0821 02-13-2022 03:47 PM

haha... cant wait till summer... and get fucked....

Thankfully gas cost is super low for me... the prime, miata + bike are as efficient as it gets...

But yea... I remember filling about $450 a month with the EVO back then when it was like $1.40ish regular (so $1.60ish for 94?)... lolol shiiittt.... get wrecked...

Gerbs 02-13-2022 05:43 PM

Are the new $1.80/L the new norm?

cdizzle_996 02-13-2022 06:59 PM

What I don’t I don’t understand is say on a Thursday’s afternoon the gas station has their tanks filled and pays X (let’s assume 1.35/L) fuel cost was at $1.52. Fast forward to the next day gas is $1.69 yet they’re still selling that same fuel in their tanks they paid 1.35/L.. how the fuck.

320icar 02-13-2022 07:22 PM

You’re question capitalism and greed? How dare you

How can you not understand...?

Let's say you own a store that sells oranges, and you buy your oranges from an orange farm.

Yesterday you went to the farm and bought all your oranges for $0.25/orange, and you have enough oranges to sell for 2 weeks. You know the other orange stores are selling them at $0.75/orange, so that's what you're going to do also.

Suddenly, the orange farm calls you and tells you that starting in 2 weeks, each orange will cost $0.40/orange. You think to yourself "wow, my cost has gone up 15 cents! I guess in 2 weeks I'll have to raise my prices to $0.90."

Then you find out this asshole across the street who also owns an orange store, was given the same news. But instead he's like "fuck the people, if I can sell oranges for $0.90 in 2 weeks, I can sell oranges NOW for $0.90 and make even more money!". So you, being a capitalist, do the same. And now all the fucking oranges in town are $0.90.

And rinse and repeat.

The gas price is like a roller coaster through out the day

180.9 to 177.9 to 175.9 to 171.9 and loops. But looks like now 175.9 is the low. Forecast expecting 185.9 in a week or two.

MarkyMark 02-15-2022 05:13 AM

Oh well we've already proven there's nothing that can break us in BC. Bidding wars on crack shack houses, the streets are still packed with gas guzzlers and cars that require premium. Paying over MSRP to get the new car you want. When they are allowed to be open restaurants are still packed. Clearly people can afford it, or don't mind being in crippling debt lol

We've been hearing how people aren't going to be able to afford it since gas first cracked $1 a litre, and yet here we are

JDMDreams 02-15-2022 06:38 AM

Doesn't like 50% of the rs ballas have an ev in the garage by now? :lawl::troll: saving the gas for the fun cars.

I laugh every time a pick up truck floors it and it doesn't go anywhere, all sound no go.

huh people still have to get around

less than 2 years ago it dipped below 80c..this recent spike is from the looming war

and it's not like EVs are readily available in all flavours

also even a civic these days asks for premium

yray 02-15-2022 07:47 AM

real ballers drive a port injection v8 thats 20 years old and makes 100hp

30L/ 100KM YOLO

:okay:

JDMDreams 02-15-2022 07:58 AM

Yea I was thinking of pulling the supercharged V8 back out, but then I might wait another month. At least PR is open and you can skip the carbon tax :accepted:

Had you tried it yourself? News said yes but seems some ran into problem crossing.
