KAMLOOPS — Kamloops council is officially asking the provincial government to explain why this city’s gasoline prices are as high as they are.
Councillor Bill Sarai brought the idea forward as part of his report in Tuesday’s (Jan. 27) regular meeting.
Sarai said in his travels, he has noticed communities throughout the Okanagan pay lower prices than Kamloops residents — even though the gas is transported from Kamloops.
“I’m hearing it a lot from our residents, as well, that Kamloops is getting gouged on gas prices. If you look at the gas stations that are primarily on our highway system, they never fluctuate. They stay at a high rate all the time. When people drive through and say, ‘Kamloops — the gas prices there are so high,’ that’s a bad reflection on us.”
