Shit I use this Esso twice a week.

Arbutus & West 16th Esso to be replaced by rentals - urbanYVR

Strand is proposing a four-storey, secured market rental building at the corner of Arbutus and West 16th, on the current site of an Esso.

Once the Ridge was turned into condo's (and the Loblaws), that was kind of inevitable.

it is always about 4 cents more expensive than the Chevron about 10 blocks south.
oddest thing - it's so consistent. I drive by both on my way home from work.

I gotta go to UBC two or three times a week s and I usually make a stop at another location on King Ed near Main after so it's really convenient. Plus they have a car wash.

I have to use Esso because the company's fleet cards are with them. Wife loves it though because they give out PC Optimum points and she gets to shop free at Shoppers Drug Mart once a year.
