I live in Northern Alberta and go over to northeastern BC quite often. Last week, gas was $1.29 all over Dawson Creek (closest to Alberta) and $1.34 another hour west in Chetwynd. Both prices are less than we pay in Alberta an hour east of Dawson Creek. This is opposite to prices in the past when Alberta prices were lowest and Chetwynd much higher than Dawson.
Alberta did add a carbon tax which accounts for part of the change. My theory about Chetwynd and Dawson was that BC reduced the tax for towns close to Alberta. Could they now be reducing it for Chetwynd as well?
Gas for these towns must be coming from Edmonton, Alberta or Prince George, BC refineries.
Last year I never went to BC without a full tank of Alberta gas. This year I have suddenly found myself filling up at Superstore (7.5 cents off in grocery points) in Dawson every time I go over to BC.
Anyone have an insight into this change?
