Gas shortage hits Petro-Canada stations in Saskatoon
The Fort McMurray wildfires and an unplanned outage at an Edmonton refinery are leading to shortages at Suncor’s Petro-Canada stations across Western Canada.
Suncor spokeswoman Sneh Seetal says the cumulative effects of lower crude production because of the fires and the Edmonton outage mean the company has been producing less gasoline and diesel fuel for its retail operations.
The company is reporting temporary shortages at Petro-Canada stations in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, as well as at sites in the British Columbia interior.
In Saskatoon, at least one Petro-Canada station is completely out of gas, while diesel is on limited supply.
