      Starting last weekend, the B.C. government announced gasoline purchases would be rationed to 30 litres per fill up for private vehicles.

      For those with short commutes, or working at home, that may not have a big impact. For those who have long drives to and from the office, it may have had a bigger impact, or at least required more trips to the gas station.

      Has this restriction affected the way you drive in and around Langley?
