The gas shortage that started in Northern B.C. last week has made its way to 91大黄鸭.
The Shell station in West 91大黄鸭 reported it is completely out of gas, with a little diesel left.
The Petrocan in 91大黄鸭 on Highway 33 is also out of gas, but Petrocans in other locations around the city have reported they still have it.
鈥淲e continue to experience a gasoline supply shortage in parts of B.C.,鈥� said Nicole Fisher, spokesperson for Suncor Energy (which owns Petro-Canada). 鈥淲e understand that this is an inconvenience to our customers, we apologize and are working to mitigate the impacts.鈥�
Planned maintenance at Canadian refineries has caused the shortage, but work is underway to truck fuel to those that are lacking.
鈥淥ur Edmonton Suncor refinery is back in service so it鈥檚 a matter of replenishing stations,鈥� said Fisher.
The shortage is also felt at select stations across Western Canada 鈥� including Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
