But with higher tax | Every nickel that goes in and out of your pocket is taxed. Same for the person taking and giving the nickel. Canada's tax system is robbery.
Just imagine this, 5 people forming a circle with 1 person standing out of it. One person passes a loonie to the person left of him and it goes around continuously. Eventually, the loonie will become a penny, and where did the rest went? To the person outside the circle.

Now, this is just conjecture, and an opinion... not proven facts, but here goes:
BC's topography is largely mountainous, so getting gas to remote towns or even towns like Kelowna is expensive.
There is no gas/oil pipeline in BC that can substantially lower the transportation cost of gas.
From the best of my knowledge, there is no gas/oil supply in BC.
There are only 2 refineries in BC and their daily production is very, very low compared to other provinces with similar or even smaller populations. List of oil refineries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think these reasons greatly increase the cost of gas in BC. | But Kamloops had the cheapest gas, and it's no harder to get to than a city like Kelowna. Hell, even Fort St John up North is only a couple cents more per litre. That said, there's no Translink tax past Aldergrove, so that's probably why it's essentially on par with GVRD pricing.
