HAGERSVILLE, Ont. – With fuel prices hitting record levels, more drivers are travelling to gas stations on First Nations reserves, where tax rules and exemptions mean savings can be as high as 30 to 40 cents per litre.
But the amount of money saved all depends on who you are and where you fill up.
“I’m not far and we are coming this way,” said John Morris, who was fuelling up at the New Credit Variety & Gas Bar in Hagersville, Ont., en route to his nearby cottage. “I wouldn’t drive out here to get gas and go back. It’s too expensive.”
