Gas prices seem to be holding steady in Northern BC for Canada Day.
Dan McTeague with GasBuddy.com believes the price you pay is the price you’re going to get… even after the long weekend.
“We could continue to see no movement, or little movement; it doesn’t seem to be unlike the previous several years, and the demand is not increasing. So it means there’s a bit of a surplus on gasoline, much to reflect the surplus we currently have on the oil side.”
This is largely due to oil and gasoline providers holding strong on sales and surplus.
McTeague says the region is lucky to have companies like Kinder Morgan and Trans-Mountain in the backyard, especially for this time of year.
“The rest of British Columbia pays about 11 cents-a-litre less than what they pay in Vancouver and in the Lower Mainland, and the national average for gasoline puts us at the lowest prices we’ve seen going back seven years.”
Right now, in Vanderhoof, the lowest price sits with Co-op at 101.9 per litre.
