smokeater466 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Unfortunately there is a big hole around the North west end of the Kawarthas/South end of the Highlands. No gas in Kinmount, Gooderham and Wilberforce. There is in Irondale at the General Store, obv Haliburton and Minden and Harcourt. Puts a crimp in thing we often do a loop thru Haliburton over to Paudash thru Wilberforce for gas then onto Gooderham have to do it in reverse now in order to get gas in Haliburton.

revrnd Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The Ultramar in Apsley that closed up a few years ago didn't have a good business model IMO. They closed on Sundays, year round. Missed out on a lot of traffic. There are days here in the village that are so slow you probably wouldn't make enough money to pay the hydro. Why not close on Mon' & stay open thru the weekend? It's doubtful that the Bow lake Variety will open any time soon. The "current" owners ran their previous gas station into the ground (XTR about 6 miles south of Apsley) last winter when we didn't have a gas station in the village. They were out of gas more often than they had gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guy in Haliburton at the foot of Head lake is always higher then the gas bar at Todd's grocery store around the bend, by the clubhouse. Usually as much as five to eight cents difference.

Viperules700 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Shell station is gone at head lake in hailburton. It Is now a weird independent xcel or something like that. At least they still have gas for now. It could be the next station to go, since they are due for tank and pump replacement soon. Costs alot to do this, so alot of stations just close when the time comes. Indepedant is always abit cheaper but can be Tricky to get in and out of their though. There is the trail on the far side of the road. Just have to cut across the highway bridge, since the channel never freezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the newer retailers will be around. Those with older tanks can not justify the cost to remove and replace tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guppy Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 The marina at Haliburton Lake only open weekends for gas,with the lake staked today, that should help his sales. The restaurant next door has closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Quimby Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I have heard that the gas station in Whitney that has been a Shell for many years is now XTR branded. XTR must be hooking up with some of the old Shell stations. That is the case in Haliburton too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 XTR must be hooking up with some of the old Shell stations. That is the case in Haliburton too. Bow Lake Variety south of Bancroft had been a Shell then switched to XTR. I'm not sure how long it was an XTR before it closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 My grandparents lived in Harcourt, behind Schwandt Lumber. I remember the old gas station in Wilberforce. Did not know it closed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Quimby Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Now the clown (ESSO) at Hwy 118 and Hwy 35 has had no gas since the Saturday of the Family day weekend??? The pumps all have bags on them and barrier tape all around. His prices were always high..so I don't know if Esso has shut him down or he is just a putz? Apparently there have been loads of complaints about his prices being 5 to 10 cents more than the average around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there have been loads of complaints about his prices being 5 to 10 cents more than the average around. And when he does have gas he has never has premium. Looks like he has to pay for his stock when shipped. No credit because he's a new owner.Stopped there on the weekend and everone was bitching about it. I will always try to get gas at the Kushog lake marina at the south end. Only premium there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yup. I ran into a group that was stranded at that esso no fuel. I had a siphon so we transferred fuel so they could make it to little hawk for fuel. May as well support the little resorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Quimby Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 It's a regular occurrence these days. Been running out of fuel routinely since last Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Can anyone confirm if the gas station in Wilberforce has re-opened? Also, there is a new Shell station nearing completion on the south edge of Bancroft on Hwy 28 (Across from MNR/Hydro One offices). No idea if there will be access to the station from E110.
