Ken Hayes says:

the gas in Penticton $1.25.9 and $1.31.9 here in Oliver? What is the deal?
Dave Drought says: 

you’ve pretty much got it right there, Jack. People would rather pick up their reward points than make any effort to reduce gas prices. The evidence is all around us.
Susan Fulton says: 

Why are our gas stations still charging $1.31 for gas when crude prices are down and so are gas prices all over the province?

Publisher: I keep answering the question – because we refuse to boycott stations that charge that much. No other answer.

The answer no one wants to hear is – that the people in this area are prepared to pay that price. Best advice is to go where the prices are lower. I know that is not a satisfactory response but their are no GAS police.

AND I always get hell for telling people to shop elsewhere.
