176.0. "What is the price of ....." by BEST1::ATKINSON (Wine is fine but liquor's quicker) Mon May 08 1989 11:45

    Just 2 questions: What is a case of 2-4 (Molson Golden of course)
    worth at the beer store (Ontario) and Quebec ?
    And what does a litre of gas cost in Ontario and Quebec?
    Thanks in advance

176.1Yer looking for Joe in NY, NY?KAOM25::TOMKINSThis MIND left blank INTENTIONALLYTue May 09 1989 10:069
     Depending on whether or not you want to buy yer beer in cans or
    bottles, cans are just shy of $24.00 CAD and bottles are less. Please
    take yer cans or yer bottles back for a refund and do not leave
    them at the side of the road.
     Depending on where and from whom you buy yer gas, and of course
    what kind of gas, we have as many as four different blends unleaded
    gas and at least two leaded gas blends. Anyhow I have seen prices
    ranging from 46.9 cents/litre and as high as 54.0 cents/litre.
     Hope that answers your questions.
176.2Buying gas is easy, filling up takes timeKAOM25::RICHARDSONHe who laughs bestTue May 09 1989 10:2810
    Re. The Gas.
    
    	The only pain about buying gas up here is that it's only sold
    in 1 litre cans, which I make a point of throwing on the side of
    the road. Last time I filled up it took me nearly an hour, you should
    have seen the pile of cans I left on the side of the road along
    with my old socks and underwear and not to mention my living room
    furniture.

    	When I go to get my oil filled, I have them check the gas. 
    	They usually refill it for me - at no extra cost. 8>)

Re: .2 & .3

	Air is really expensive...one litre of Thurso air is about CA$2.
Some people have resorted to producing their own air, if they have gas.
This is cheaper than buying but you have to use an adapter to attach to
the tire valve...and it can be painful, just try pumping up your tires
with "nature's little gas" to a pressure of 220 kilopascals.  

	By the way, PetroCanada will no longer issue bonus coupons for
purchases of air unless it is a beverage ("Hi, I'd like a can of fresh
air and two straws").  The same applies to the purchase of water unless
it is a meal ("Hi, I'd like a bowl of water and two toothpicks").  However,
flatus is free (if you get my drift), if used to pump up your tires using
the PetroCanada Model 1AH Bottom Adapter.

	Richard Tomkins is saving up for a rubber duck for his bath, so
send all of your empties to him.

176.5Speaking of air..BETSY::WATSONNo_MadWed May 17 1989 11:3210
What does your average Irving dealer along the TransCanada charge to
change the winter air to spring/summer air in your tyres?  I won't
have a chance to change mine before we (possibly) head up to N.B. in
August.

thnx,

Kip

ps- I don't have 'metric' tyres.. will this affect the cost??
176.6Snow Bags IIKAOM25::WALLFri Aug 25 1989 08:2810
    
    Winter air - summer air. Hmmmmm.
    I'm surprised that the Kanata::Klownz who authored the previous
    replies (does that make them replicants?), let this one go.
    This had the potential to be another "Snow Bags" series and they
    passed it up.
