Above prices taken from Gas Buddy at 11:00 am Sept. 27/2013. Victoria stations are also pumping gas for 126.9 per litre after deducting the 2 cent transit tax for a true comparison.
An extra five cents per litre doesn't sound like much but equals $2.50 on a 50 litre fill up, which is $2.50 you don't have to spend on something else, like a coffee and donut at Timmy's. For anyone who thinks in gallons it is the equivalent of a 22.5 cent difference per gallon.
Clearly there is a lack of any real competition in the Nanaimo gas retail business. Too bad Costco wasn't able to install pumps at their Nanaimo location.
