Gas prices continue to fall in Kamloops and the Okanagan but not in Penticton, so far.

Fuel prices are down around 3 cents a litre for regular fuel in Kamloops this morning, compared to four days ago, while Vernon is seeing a 4 to 5 cent drop in prices today.

In Kelowna, prices are starting to tumble, with the Husky gas station at 150 Edward Street reporting gas at 99 cents per litre of regular fuel as of noon today, according to data on GasBuddy.com

Penticton’s prices remain stubbornly high, at the same level as last week.

Here’s a look at fuel prices in Kamloops and the Okanagan as of 1 p.m today, March 23:

  • Kamloops – 89.9 to 93.9 cents per litre, regular fuel
  • Vernon – 100.9 to 102.9 cents per litre, regular fuel

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
