As of June 1, most are at $1.84.9 per litre, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gasbuddy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GasBuddy.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prices have been <a href=\"https:\/\/infonews.ca\/inwheels\/news\/5742\/ev-owners-smiling-with-gas-prices-more-than-2-in-okanagan-kamloops\/\">fluctuating for months in the region<\/a> since the war in Iran shocked global oil markets, but the Thompson-Okanagan market appears to see its lowest prices in Vernon with some regularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BC&#8217;s average gas prices are the highest among Canadian prices with $1.91.8. At the same time last year, the provincial average was almost 40 cents cheaper at $1.57.9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Vernon remains the lowest in the region, prices vary across the Thompson-Okanagan. The lowest price for Kamloops drivers is $1.74.9 while Kelowna&#8217;s cheapest is $1.59.9 per litre on June 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infonews.ca\/gas\/\">Go
