Not sure how many people noticed, but since April 1st the Québec government now requires gas stations to report their prices, and it gets updated roughly every 5 minutes.

In theory this is pretty big .you can actually see real-time prices instead of guessing or driving around.

I checked the official platform a bit, and while the data is interesting, I find it a bit clunky to use on mobile.

Curious how people here are using it:

Are you actually checking before filling up now?

Have you noticed real price differences between stations in Montréal?

Do you think this will actually push prices down over time?

Feels like something with a lot of potential, but not sure if people are really taking advantage of it yet.
