Take a drive in Haliburton County these days, and you're sure to see how gas prices vary from town to town and station to station. The resulting confusion surrounding the variance got one local Haliburton woman wondering why those differences exist. She started a Facebook group entitled ‘Fair Gas Prices for Haliburton' to raise awareness and lobby support in a community where the effects of a downturned, tourist-centered economy puts the strain on local residents.CanoeFM sat down with Jennifer Korpela to learn why she's formed the group and is putting pressure on gas companies, local government and the province to step in to bring in consistency and lower gas prices for local residents.CanoeFM also spoke with Gas Wizard Dan McTeague, who explained the complexity and constantly changing prices drivers are facing at the pumps. He said the margin for gas station owners is razor thin and there are many factors contributing to the cost of gassing up vehicles.
