Yup
Kelowna retailers getting the highest profits in province. Almost 400% the profits of retailers in Vancouver

When conversation came up a few days ago about a gas price drop
my interjection into it was "Hahaha, ya, but don't bank on it
happening here." (Central OK)

One thing announcement did do, was stopped a bunch of people from creating long line ups at the pumps and hoarding gas. Instead they chose to wait for the lower price to come into effect. :smt045

Costco can't open here fast enough to teach the local gougers a lesson.
Looks like you're gonna have to wait a bit longer:

That was the first thing that entered my mind when I first heard the story. Much more believable than an 11-cent per litre price drop!

Yup, usually make sure we have full tanks by Thursday.

Anyone who thinks the gas co's aren't screwing us is nucking futz.

On the upside, the odds of higher prices goes down when the media predicts that prices will go up.

Costco was $153.9 last evening when we filled up. There were 3 tanker trucks filling them up for the weekend.
Shell at KLO and Benvoulin was $174.9. Talk about rip off, they are the worst!

Just came off the TCH in Kamloops, traffic is crazy, and no price increase.
Looks like the experts were wrong.
I'm posting this from Traditional lands of the British Empire & the current Lands of The Dominion of Canada.
I also give thanks for this ethos richness bestowed on us via British Colonialism.
