Letter: Why such disparity in regional gas prices?

There should be some type of government regulation, but that can’t happen as the government also has its hands in our pockets with gas taxes
letters

Editor:

Can someone tell me why gas prices in Kamloops are higher than prices found in

surrounding communities?

This past week, Enderby sold gas at $1.63 per litre. In Salmon Arm, gas was at $1.69. In Vernon, gas was at $1.69.

In Kamloops, most stations were at between $1.84 and $1.86, with Costco at $1.79.

It doesn’t make any sense to me. Somebody is getting their pockets lined off the backs of us poor Kamloops drivers.

There should be some type of government regulation, but that can’t happen as the government also has its hands in our pockets with gas taxes.

Give me a break.
