Gas Prices Go Up Like Our Hopes for No Snow in September!

BC gas prices are on the rise, find out where to fill up without breaking the bank!

**Gas Prices in BC: A Rollercoaster Ride**

As we roll into September, the gas prices across British Columbia are giving us serious déjà vu. Hold onto your wallets, folks, because the cost of fueling up has just bumped up by an eye-watering 21 cents per litre. Whether you like it or not, it seems like the gas gouging phenomenon is back on the agenda. But in the midst of rising costs, some communities remain defiant and continue to offer more affordable options for drivers.

If you're searching for some relief from the wallet-crushing fuel prices, look no further than Vernon, where you can fill your tank for a surprisingly reasonable 152.9 cents per litre at Super Save Gas located at 3603 32nd St. It’s a beacon of hope amidst the sea of rising prices. So why not take a short detour to fill up your tank and save a few bucks that might come in handy for that warm cozy pumpkin spice drink we all secretly love?

Now, for those who grumble about their gas being expensive, let’s take a minute to appreciate our friends in Saskatchewan where gas prices are often around 10-15 cents higher. Yes, dear readers, it could always be worse! Picture this: you could be stuck in a long line, paying nearly $1.70 per litre while you wait for your turn at the pump. Thank goodness for Vernon's fuel savings!

September is not just about rising gas prices; it's also a time of year to prepare for colder days ahead. As Canadians, we know fall means winter is just around the corner, so make sure you’re filling up your tank not only for your weekend adventures but possibly also for those unexpected snowy trips to the grocery store when the flakes start flying. **Fun Fact #1: Did you know that Canada has one of the highest gas taxes in North America?** That's right, a good chunk of your gas price is contributing to roads, schools, and other public services. So, even if it stings to fill up, you're indirectly funding some very important services that benefit all Canadians.

**Fun Fact #2: The average Canadian driver spends about $2,300 a year on gasoline!** That’s more than some vacations! With prices fluctuating, it might be a good idea to start tracking the rising and falling costs — who knew that being a gas price detective could become your new hobby?
