Temporary gas shortage gives us a glimpse into the future
KAMLOOPS — The gasoline shortage hasn’t been causing much inconvenience this week because only a few stations are affected but it gets you thinking about the future.
The current shortage is, we’re told, caused by a maintenance shutdown at a Petro-Canada-Suncor refinery in Edmonton that took much longer than it was supposed to.
The company finally announced late Wednesday that the refinery has restarted and the shortage will be over soon. In the meantime, there are still lots of other stations where we can gas up.
