Fuel prices rarely fluctuate during the day in our area, except for the odd station attempting to push prices up (there are two usual offenders). So to hear that other parts of the country see this is interesting. Reminds me of various parts of Europe where constant fluctuations of the price during the day is the norm.

Everyone in my household who applied got their $49.11 today.  

I was under the impression that the payout is per civic address--not per individual in the same home. I'm surprised to learn that.

How much compensation will I receive?

The amount per claimant will depend on whether an approved claimant previously received a $25 Loblaw card from the Loblaw Card Program.

If you did not participate in the Loblaw Card Program you will be paid $49.11.

If you participated in the Loblaw Card Program you will be paid $24.11.

Please note: The amount payable to claimants who chose to receive their payment by cheque will be reduced by $2.

…

When will I receive my share of the settlement compensation?

We are now in the distribution phase of the settlement and payments began to be issued for approved claims beginning the week of May 11, 2026.

Payments are issued on a rolling basis so not all claimants will receive payment at the same time. Please check your inbox and junk or spam folder if you chose to be paid by e-Transfer.

How will I receive payment?

Payment will be made by Interac e-Transfer by email from notify@payments.interac.ca or by cheque, depending on the payment method requested by the claimant.

Please note that because of the large number of approved claims, payments are being issued on a rolling basis and not all claimants will receive payment at the same time.

If you are expecting an e-Transfer, please check your ‘Spam’ and “Junk” folders, as sometimes emails are routed there. If you elected to be paid by cheque, $2 will be deducted from the compensation payable to reflect the additional cost of providing a cheque.

I find it very useful to check current gas prices near me
The prices often go down a fair bit during the day

I have found that between 10pm and 12am is the cheapest.  

This CTV article & vid suggests 'After' 6pm ⬇️

Living out here in The Sticks of S.E. BC, I haven't noticed any such changes during the day.

Any other suggestions❓

Run your tank closer to empty and then take a drive to Eureka. Might as well grab a six-pack while you're at it.

Thanks for the info on the final settlement amounts. Back in Post 3, I estimated that the settlement would generate between $25 and $50 for victims of the pricing conspiracy, after the lawyers took their share. It looks like that's where the payments have settled.

Did anyone else get their payment?

Don't spend it all in one place!

How does that compare with the dough that others have received?

FWIW ... My Tacoma was made in 'Texas'. 

Ah ... Pre 2022 ...
