If you're looking to buy gas for under $1 a litre, you'll have to take a road trip.

But if you don't mind paying more than many other Canadians to fill up your vehicle, you're living in the right place.

The Okanagan has some of the most expensive gas in the country.

Topping the list is Golden, B.C., which had the unfortunate distinction of having the most expensive gas in Canada on Thursday, with an average of 129.7 cents per litre across the town.

Castanet compared the average price of gas from cities across Canada, which is collected by GasBuddy.com. It lists the most and least expensive gas prices across the country.

Nineteen of the top 25 most expensive cities are in B.C., including Penticton, the third priciest at 121.9 cents per litre, Vernon, the 11th most expensive at 121.9 cents per litre, and Kelowna, the 14th most expensive at 118.9 cents per litre.

No B.C. cities could be found in the top 25 least expensive cities for gas on Thursday.

The Canada-wide average for regular fuel prices is 107.5 cents per litre, while the B.C. average is 118.6 cents per litre.

For those looking to relocate out of beautiful British Columbia to find cheaper fuel, head east to Peterborough, Ont., where the average gas price is 93.5 cents per litre, the least expensive in Canada. Edmonton is a bit closer to home, and currently has the second least expensive gas in Canada at 96.6 cents per litre. 

The highest gas prices Kelowna has seen since Gas Buddy began recording prices in 2008 was 147.2 cents per litre in July 2008, and the least expensive was just five months later, when prices hit 77.9 cents per litre in December.
