By 250 News
According to MJ Ervin and Associates, the average price of a litre of gas in Canada is now $1.039 .
In Prince George, it is $1.149, down from last week, but still much higher than the national average. The place not to be if you need a fill up today is Ft. St John.
The price for a litre of gas in the "Energetic City" is $1.189 which is a full 8 cents less than it had been a week ago.
Our stronger dollar is getting the credit for the slip in price
Here are some of the highlights from the MJ Ervin report:
City | Price | Price before Tax |
Prince George | $1.149 | $0.839 |
Vancouver | $1.06 | $0.695 |
Victoria | $1.119 | $0.786 |
Ft. St. John | $1.189 | $0.877 |

Whitehorse | $1.209 | $0.979 |
Yellowknife | $1.298 | $1.018 |
Kingston Ontario | $0.941 | $0.64 |
Kingston has the lowest price in Canada, and is one of 8 communities in the Golden Horseshoe of Southern Ontario where the price of a litre of gas is now below the dollar mark.
According to the Gas Gouge Meter , the price of gas in Prince George is 17.9 cents a litre too high. It says at normal profit margins, the price of a litre of gas in P.G. should be 97.1 cents a litre.

I have been watching the selling price of crude oil and it has been, up until yesterday, at the same levels it was a year ago when we were paying .....$1.149...
are we being gouged, I don't know..possibly..or at least so they say.
Am i happy paying what I pay, of couse not. Especially with the huge price differnces between here and futher south.
FYI...U.S. is paying $0.83 (eighty-three cents a liter...US money)
I can hope it will drop more.
