An Open Letter to Kindersley’s Gas Stations

Letter to the Editor

Pretty sure that everyone has noticed that our fair town of Kindersley has some of the highest priced gas and diesel in Saskatchewan. While fuel and (crude oil) prices are dropping from $130.00 U.S. to under $100.00 today, for reasons unknown, Kindersley’s stations don’t budge. Is it too much to ask to be the same as the highest price in Saskatoon, or the same price as our good neighbours in Rosetown?

At this writing we’re .08 cents higher. Unnecessary gouging! We must be the only place in Canada that hasn’t dropped. These inflated prices stop people driving #7 Highway from not only not stopping for fuel; they miss out in restaurants, hotels and all retail business. Time to drop the price!

When oil was $140.00 U.S. back in 2008, the highest gas in town was $1.42.9. Here we are at $1.73.9 and oil is under $100.00. Get it together and please stop the gouging! Prices are too high as it is!
