About PumpTalk
When you work in the oil and gas industry, a lot of people want to talk to you about gas prices. At barbeques, weddings, reunions – family and friends want to ask you about why gas prices fluctuate and offer their own opinions.
PumpTalk began back in 2006, when we produced a series of videos inspired by the kind of simple, straightforward answers we Petro-Canada employees try to give when questioned by friends and family about gas prices.
After seeing the reaction to the videos, we started the PumpTalk blog to continue our effort to demystify fluctuating prices at the pump. We also believe that PumpTalk is a good place to discuss the fact that we, as Canadians, consume a lot of gasoline. Gasoline keeps our vehicles (and the economy) running, but we could be more efficient in the way we use it.
In the early days of PumpTalk, we focused mainly on gas prices, fuel efficiency and how the industry works but in the last year, we've expanded our topics to cover driver safety, vehicle maintenance tips, industry news and other topics that we think you might find useful or interesting.
More importantly, we want you to tell us what you think and share your opinions so that we can respond and improve. We’ve laid out some ground rules below, but have worked to make this as open as possible. Respond to what you see on the site, ask questions, or discuss amongst yourselves.
We may not always agree…but that’s okay. Let’s keep the conversation going.
PumpTalk is a Petro-Canada blog. Petro-Canada is a Suncor Energy business.
