• 2.4 cent/litre discount on gas/diesel purchased at any Petro Canada
• Retail Station across Canada with a minimum purchase of 200 litres/month
• 20% discount off Car Washes
• 5% discount off parts/labour with Certigard and up to 30% discount off accommodation at Howard Johnson, Ramada and Knights Inns across Canada

To take advantage of the CARI/Petro Canada program, simply go to the website https://www.online.petro-canada.ca/spapply/CARI and complete the form online. Or contact Lois Holmes at 1-877-777-7252 x2266 or email: and she will either mail or fax the application form to your attention.
