So are people loyal to one brand of gas station?

My family and I are loyal to Shell because of the airmiles. I don't think i've ever topped up anywhere else in the city. A few times when i was driving in the middle of nowhere.

What i found odd was in the US, they have a crapload of different companies. Like on one street in Denver I counted 6 gas stations at 3 corners.

you should make a poll about it.

I use Esso all the time...just because i collect their points for car wash and there is one very close to my house. I believe someone made a site about which gas company offer the best bonus?

Esso for me too, b/c other rewards aren't good for me

Shell - Airmiles? Never collect it, too slow too
Sunoco - CAA, but I don't use CAA at all
Petro Canada - petro noints? nothing close to me in Waterloo
Esso - Esso points, good for carwash and swap to other rewards (HBC, Aeroplan, etc...). Btw, you can use Aeroplan at Esso now, $3 for 1 mile

I only use Petro Canada.
I swear by Petro Points.
I almost have enough for a free domestic flight for two people.

There's an Esso station a few metres from my house that I always use. The Petro Can a block away usually always have higher prices.

Are you even old enough to drive yet? Or are you just posting for the sake of increasing your post count, like usual?

It used to be Shell exclusively for the airmiles... but after getting AtHome and Lifestyles, it's Petro-Canada exclusively.

Pioneer, because I like my gas cheap and without frills.

Down here, I stay away from Brandnames, and fill up with Kroger(Think the Loblaws of the USA), Sam's Club, Cowboys, or any gas company that's NOT a brand name.

I can't imagine going back to paying full price for gas... HUGE thanks for the At Home/Lifestyles posts Felix!!! At 400-500 litres/month... well, you can just imagine how sad I'd be without the cards!

Speaking of CT cards... I had success at CT on 400/Rutherford in taking 2 x $25 cards for gas... she didn't have any problems at all.
