According to GasBuddy, a handful of stations had prices just below the $2 mark, with Costco at $1.899 and another station at $1.979. Some, however, were still in lockstep at $2.059, the price seen for most of July.

In the South Okanagan, Penticton mirrored Kelowna, with some stations at $1.999 and others between $2.059 and $2.089.

Further south, though, most stations were above the two-dollar mark. Oliver stations ranged from $2.069 to $2.129, with stations in Osoyoos mostly at $2.019. One station in Okanagan Falls was at $1.999.
