save 3.5 cents/litre!!!!

why do all the gas stations do that now? i see no reason for it since every single gas station does it...why not just put the price 3.5 cents lower on the stupid sign?

It's some sort of legal issue with one of those super market/big box gas station outlets selling gas really cheap.

it's so you'll think "wow, I'm saving 3.5 cents" instead of "gas is 90 cents a litre, WTF"

what I hate is the places like Safeway and Petrocan where you have to have a membership, but they don't take the 3.5 off at the pump. So you pump in $20, and then they take it off and give you back like 75 cents!
