Turning inner space into outer space

Gas war prices a reminder of yesteryear

With the price at the pump currently as low as 106.4, many of us are happy to have relief from the rates hovering at 30 cents higher in much of the rest of B.C. It’s easy to forget, though, that just one short year ago, 106.4 would have been considered to be the norm.

I’ve added a new feature that allows you to track gas prices over time in B.C., courtesy of GasBuddy.com. It shows a steady climb over the past year to the stratospheric prices we now pay. It also allows you to make adjustments for time periods and geographic areas, so feel free to play around with it.
