If you live in the North Okanagan, it might be cheaper to drive into Vernon to fill up your gas tank today.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Vernon there are gas stations selling a litre of regular for around $1.55.9 with the cheapest price at $1.51.9. It\u2019s actually the least expensive gasoline in the province, May 20, according to GasBuddy.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems to be a highly localized anomaly<\/a> since in nearby Coldstream, and Lake Country, gas is around $1.99.9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Kelowna, the lowest price is $1.71.9 with most gas stations around $1.99.9. Kamloops is in the same boat as Kelowna with the lowest price at $1.89.9 and most stations listed at $1.99.9. Penticton\u2019s gas prices are around $1.95.9 with the cheapest at $1.94.9.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vernon\u2019s lowest price is lower than the cheapest gas in Alberta today, which is $1.61.9 in Red Deer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average B.C. still has one of the highest gas prices in Canada at $2.08.3, only beaten out by Newfoundland at $2.14.6. Alberta\u2019s average gas price is $1.76.9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall high price of gasoline isn’t likely to change anytime soon<\/a> with the ongoing war in Iran impacting oil prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
