The West Side — Kitsilano, Point Grey, Dunbar, Shaughnessy and Kerrisdale — is consistently the priciest part of Vancouver to buy gas. Station density is low, the land under each site is enormously valuable, and the neighbourhood demographics let retailers hold margins that stations on the East Side never could. The pumps along West 4th, West Broadway, Dunbar Street and West 41st serve their neighbourhoods well, but they rarely compete hard with each other on price.
That makes a price check before you fill more valuable here than almost anywhere else in the city: the spread between a West Side pump and the SE Marine Drive strip fifteen minutes away is regularly five to ten cents per litre. If you commute toward UBC, the handful of stations on the West 10th and Alma corridor are the last fuel before campus — there are no gas stations at UBC itself. The list below ranks every West Side station we track by current regular price, refreshed hourly; confirm at the pump before fuelling.
Communities covered: Kitsilano, West Point Grey, Dunbar-Southlands, Shaughnessy, Kerrisdale, Arbutus Ridge, MacKenzie Heights, Quilchena, Jericho, UBC & University Endowment Lands.
