On Saturday there was a small protest against gasoline prices here in Merritt. gasoline had been selling for $1.31 a liter and is now at $1.23. Not low enough for some they had posters out asking for support . A small bunch of demonstrators were noted on Dewolf Way  on Saturday.

Their poster invited people to bring hotdogs, kids, best cheers and smiles.

A contact person for Merritt citizens against gas price fixing is noted as being Michelle at 250-315-9184

A source said that gas prices in Kamloops an hour away were $1.09

Editors note BP the huge oil company is reported to have received a multi billion dollar fine recently,this may add insult to injury if gas prices are artificially manipulated to accommodate the fine.
