Shell premium grade is only 92?
Funny that the gas station with the country's name on it doesn't have the best gas?
What makes Petro can gas inferior to shells?
Higher % of ethanol?
My Karma ran over your Dogma
This should probably get split to one of the gas threads.
But Shell caps at 91 octane in Canada. But is guaranteed 100% ethanol free at the pump for 91 octane and has industry leading cleaners etc. Great gas, leads to better fuel economy and some cars run much better on it which helps offset the premium price point they usually take.
Petro Canada goes up to 94 at most stations, but every grade at Petro contains ethanol. Ethanol decreases fuel economy resulting in lower range for a tank and effective higher fuel costs obviously. Some people also think ethanol is bad for their engine and fuel lines in particular, this isn’t entirely unfounded.
It is not surprising to me at all that something with Canada in the name is a mediocre product lol.

If you have a bmo air miles mastercard you can get 3c per litre off right now at Shell. Limited time until March 31 tho, not always on like the Pcan/RBC deal.
You have to opt in at bmo.com/fuel and the offer is triggered with your air miles card. I have the BMO shell air miles world card that I only use for gas so it works well for me.
They do have a no fee card as well so that could be good to have as just a gas card. Set it up with Apple/Google Pay and use the Shell EasyPay app and you never have to carry around the mastercard or the air miles card.

Savage - I've been using that Rogers World MC for all my forex transactions. Looks like I'll be cutting it up!
If anyone wants a BRIM referral I'm here by PM. I think you get $20 out of it.

AFAIK Brim FX still has 1% cashback whereas HomeTrust Visa also removed it with Rogers.
2% on Amazon; pretty good time to stack up on those purchases.

shitty deal, sucks to lose the quarter percent CB on regular only get 0.5% CB on foreign where before it was 1.5% net. I don't think there is much better out there unfortunately for no-fee so i don't see myself stopping this as my daily driver.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think this is the direct result of MC and Visa lowering their overall average interchange rates for merchants starting in May, so issuers can't afford to pay those higher benefits.
One thing that's coming out soon is the MC Muse program which is supposed to be more higher-end/exclusive than WE including higher interchange rates, so hopefully Rogers and other issuers get one of those going which should be back closer to 2% rewards.
just got my Westjet Travel voucher from RBC and it doesnt look as good as a deal as before
119$ within Canada and continental US
399$ anywhere else
They announced the increases a couple of months ago. It's really hard finding good value in those vouchers but a discount is a discount.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
We use our vouchers for domestic travel around christmas time. When its costs several hundred bucks to fly 2 provinces over.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Solid way to use it. Last minute trip for me is when I find value in it. The voucher is just a bonus imo, the free luggage covers my annual fee plus more.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Anyone with a personal platinum want to send me a referral?
