As usual Prince George is paying more than every where else. Just think we should all start boycotts again and see if the gas companies will bow to the pressure. Getting sick of hearing that we are paying 20 cents or more a littre!

Am I supposed to go "whoopee" or something? We just got back from holidays down near the Okanagan, (lovely place) where some say the cost of living is high. Bullcrap! We paid 88.0 cents per litre in a couple of places down there. Kelowna also has a lot more selection in grocery stores and a lot of nice places where you can enjoy a nice quiet green spot for free(Mission Creek Greenway for one). Very user friendly. I really would like to see this town take from the example of Kelowna and how they have made their city and area user friendly. I was shocked to see people here lining up along foothills road just to have a place where they can enjoy some time by the river. What the heck is that?! Hello, PG. You have a lot of younger families coming in here. Make it safe and convenient for them and us. Give us more accessible places to enjoy without having to hike a friggin trail or park on the side of a busy highway!

Hear, hear, Paladin. The place you describe on foothills used to have a super boat launch; kids were always there on the weekends having picnics and paddling around in their dinghies. Same goes for paddlewheel park. I think it's something to do with priorities?

Kamloops is selling gas for 87.9 at most stations, Clearwater at 88.0, even Valemount is at 93.9, Don't bother filling up in McBride if you are going that way, they are still robbing motorists for 97.9. The barrel is down under $60.00 today? Still paying near the highest price in the province.

I agree with Paladin on the parks access issue to scenic and accessable places to enjoy PG vista's and river frontage.

Ben, why do you show the wholesale price of gas instead of the price at the pump?

Posted by: Marty on October 5 2006 7:13 AM

Kimbo,

If I may answer for Ben.
He does that to showw that despite us generally having a lower end wholesale cost, we have a generally higher gas pump price.... just helping to ackowledge that our markup is substantially higher here in PG, than in most other locations.

If i am incorrect Ben, please delete this.

Thanks
