Drivers who tried to fuel up at the Petro-Canada on 23 Street North came up dry Wednesday.

The station ran out of fuel Tuesday night, joining a list of other stations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Manitoba that are also out of gasoline.

Last week, Suncor Energy apologized for the gas shortage at Petro-Canada stations across western Canada, as production problems in the United States and Alberta were blamed for a fuel shortage at the pumps.

A spokesperson said the problem is due to the Fort McMurray wildfire and an outage at its Edmonton refinery.
