Vernon has cheapest gas in province but Alberta still has B.C. beat

Drivers in Vernon can rejoice with the lowest price for a litre of regular gas today, but Alberta continues to reign supreme when it comes to the price at the pump.

Vernon takes first place for the cheapest gas in the province with prices ranging from 95.9 to 101.9 cents per litre of regular fuel today, Dec. 15.

GasBuddy reports prices ranging from 99.9 to 115.9 in Kelowna. Penticton prices are around 110.9 per litre.

In Kamloops you can buy a litre of regular for anywhere between 110.9 to 115.9, and it turns out, that's the price range in the Fraser Valley.

As always, it’s still quite a bit cheaper to fuel up in Alberta. Prices in Calgary range from 83.9 to 98.9 today.

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.
