Prince George, B.C. - There's been a dip in the price of a litre of regular gas in Prince George.

Last week, the jump was to 142.2 when the new carbon tax was added on and for a couple of days it climbed to 144. 9 before settling back to 142.2.

Well, things have slipped back to 138.7, which is 1.2 cents a litre lower than the pre-tax price.

The latest MJ Ervin and Associates Survey says excluding all taxes, the price in Prince George is 108.6 per litre.

The before taxes price in Kamloops is 107.9, in Kelowna, 112.1, Ft. St John 111.4 Victoria, 115.3 and in Vancouver, 107.8

The cheapest gas in the country ( before taxes) is in Drummondville Quebec, where the price is 96.4 cents per litre.

I was pretty surprised to see the dip.

So, demand is reduced? Oil prices are up. People not driving as many houses around on the roads and renting hotels instead?

No fear, I'm sure it will be up again before the August long weekend

Everyone bend over and say hello to the oil companies. :}~ Then before bed bend over and pray to the banks. *Giggle In the morning bend over and give the grocery stores a huge kiss! For a good laugh pretend you got a raise.

Have a nice day all. :}

Well pretty soon we won't be able to afford to drive to work to make money to buy the fuel to drive to work. And round and round we go.
