You really don’t want to end up pulling into the station on fumes, or waste a lot of time sitting on a roadway blocking Capital Bike’s cyclists who are waiting for opportunities to publicly shame you because you blocked their bike lane turning into a gas station during a state of emergency.

...Work from home..
That's what the BC Public Service has been told to do (where possible) until at least the end of November.
...In response to this order, the BC Public Service will delay the implementation of telework agreements scheduled for this coming Monday. Employees who are able to work from home can continue to do so on a full-time basis where operationally feasible. Those employees who need to be in the workplace are encouraged to minimize vehicle use where possible, whether through carpooling or using public transit. The measures announced today are in effect until December 1, and so we will plan to resume the implementation of telework agreements at that time...

Long lines of vehicles were seen snaking out of gas stations on Friday evening after British Columbia officials announced fuel restrictions for non-essential travellers in areas of the province affected by heavy rains and damaging floods.
Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said residents who are not essential workers are limited to buying 30 litres of fuel each time they visit a gas station, as the government looks to truck or barge gas in from as far away as California.
Farnworth said he's relying on the good judgment of residents to ensure the province doesn't run out of fuel.
But drivers flocked to gas stations on Friday following the announcement, with some saying the restrictions are an inconvenience and others expressing understanding that the limits are necessary.

In the event you actually do need gas the Esso at Admirals and Craigflower is quite reasonable, I was in and out in about 15 minutes and unlike the utter ass-hattery behaviour I witnessed at a PetroCan earlier this morning @ Craigflower and Tillicum, people @ the Admirals Esso were well behaved and polite, if not actually cheerful.

An EV does not need gas. If the electric grid is down you would not be able to pump gas either.

there has been a new facebook group set up to help with gas updates (hope it's ok to share the link https://www.facebook...927779340848595 i'm not connected to it in any way other then being a member of it) it's fairly active... it's nice to see more and more stations getting supply and having supply and reading short lines.. i was able to get gas this afternoon less then a 10 min wait, all people were great about waiting seemed to be getting their reasonable limit (30L approx $50 worth) for the average driver it's a reasonable amount could probably get away with filling up weekly at that...
the nice thing is that if you do need to fill up more often is there are now stations with gas that you CAN go to (and have a very short line) vrs driving around passing a dozen stations all without fuel or a huge 20+ minute line..

Most gas station attendants probably aren’t too well trained in controlling a stampede of Victorians. Probably only came to the realization a couple days ago that controlling hoarding/rationing in an emergency is part of their job. Might be a little frustrated

I’m sure the stations with dollar limits, not litre limits, will figure things out and switch over.

Hopefully by the end of the week things will be closer to normal. Traffic is moving on the Malahat and that at least is some good news.

Let's hope Trans Mountain doesn't get attacked by Mr. Suzuki and friends before it's back online.
