Trail joins the gas war

By CasNews Statf
Trail is the latest West
Kootenay community to de-

clare war on gas prices, join-.
‘ ing Castlegar, Creston and.

the Slocan Valley. Trail ser-
vice stations were solling ro-
gular gas for just 29.9 cents a
litre Tuesday. -

Most Castlegar service sta-
tions were selling regular
gesoline for just 28.9 cents a

litre today. In the Slocan.
Valley regular gas is selling.

for 29.9 cents a litre and in
Creston regular gas is going
for about 35 cents a litre at

Before the gas war started
— abofit a‘month ago — reg-

- ular gas was selling for 41.1

cents a litre in Castlegar.

The only major centre in
this area that hasn't yet
jumped into the fray is Nelson,

hovering around 41.4 cents a
litre for regular gas.
