Gas prices remain high in the Battlefords, Meadow Lake
Driving continues to serve as a much larger expense than in recent years for the Battlefords and surrounding area.
Gas prices remain above $1.36 a litre in most stations in surrounding municipalities, a pattern that’s been there for weeks. Nearly every station in North Battleford and Battleford sits at 136.9¢, a fraction more than the provincial average.
Darryl Crowe, general manager at Red Pheasant Centex in North Battleford, said this current price hasn’t dipped far from the $1.39 a litre they reached within the last few months, or the $1.44 seen in other cities.
“It’s always been pretty steady, as far as prices go,” he said. “There’s been a few times it’s dropped, but that’s it.”
