The gas prices might be going down because of the Opinion 250 revolution, the free expression of ordinary citizens, over everyday matters, matters that count. Perhaps we are been read by the millions of readers of the site. Maybe the rest of the country is waking up to the outcry over slack governments and corporate greed. Maybe they, governments and big business, think that we would or could do something about it and are listening up.

No matter what the reason, we will attribute it to Opinion 250. Let's just say governments and big business are running scared. Maybe not, but let us say it anyway. Are they open to the challenge? We are.
Nah, McDuck, don't try and B S anybody.
Hardly credits you with being an open, honest, individual-in fact-I will question every further posting you place.
The price of gas at the pumps has gone done accordingly with the price of a barrel of gas.
Do you not pay any attention to the stock market?
Opinion 250 has not-nor will it have- any bearing on the price of gas at the pumps.
Big business and corporations running scared-go quack that joke elsewhere.
As to the site having millions of readers-how could anyone possibly arrive at that figure?
You better man the pumps-that B S you want to spread is even too thin to shovel!
Watch the stock market-know what you are talking about. That would be a beginning, if nothing else.
Oops-so sorry-my apologies-the drop is on a barrel of oil-not gas.
I feel it may be a computer error!!
Well, not really-I must start re reading-or pay initial attention.
Dearest 'trusted. This is not a chat line. If you have an opinion to express on the news article, please do so. Over.

The price of gas has nothing to do with a barrel of oil. It has to do with greed. The price of gas goes up when the demand is low and also rises when the demand is high. It's spin doctoring that raises the price and that is directly proportional to the greed at any given moment and subject to rise with or without cause.
Yah, 'trusted' is stinking up the airways, hee hee. Better watch out or the Clean Air Committee will run trusted out of town! Hee hee!


I wonder why the home town for all the big corporations and greedy government masters, has the cheapest price in the country? Where's Ottawa getting the gas from? Looks like we are subsidizing the cost of living of our rulers in Ottawa. Anyone want to guess why there will NOT be an inquiry into gas price fixing?
Please accept this as an expression of my turning to the apologetic side of my nature.
If I have offended anyone with my responses-do forgive!
You see, I have a problem.
I realize others read the articles and posting on this site, and the open display of stupidity is at times almost to the point of being offensive.
I do not want the outside world to think Prince George residents are a bunch of "clods."
Unfortunately, many of the postings are outright idiotic.
Attempts at humor show a sick side to numerous personalities.
You are all correct by letting me know it is a lesson in futility to attempt to educate many.
The intelligent posters must realize this.
Further proof we are not all born equal.
To openly display ignorance probably places one temporarily in a "fools paradise."
Have a great day, and a fine week end.
Aw trusted, you just giver!
Since it has been suggested that most of us who contribute to this website just go around with our cup halfull a post be Palopu on 28 Aug had an idea that made a lot of sence and her it is;
Buying smaller cars could help, however a more sensible solution would be to keep your gas tank between 1/4 and 1/2 rather than filling it up.

Cheers.
Kamloops .... 106.9 cents ... cache creek ... 115.9 cents ...
Yeah Kimbo!
Half full, half empty, half wit-who cares?
Go buy a smaller car to save on gas-oh sure.
Everybody with 2 or 3 kids rush out and finance a smaller car, make payments of hundreds of dollars a month-and save a few bucks on gas. Whoopee!
Or pull into a service station 4 times a month and buy 10 bucks worth of gas. Sure hurt the big boys! Sit there and idle a couple bucks worth away waiting in these line ups to put in your 5 or 10 bucks worth. Hell of a deal!
Well, it's not for me, and probably thousands of others in the city. For those who like the idea-go for it, but don't complain you do not even have room to put your groceries-or find yourself at a service station pumping gas when pressed for time, or cannot load your kids and a friend or two in your car.
Oh, really, now I am being a "critic" again. Forgive.
