Gas prices rose in Metro Vancouver this weekend and aren't likely to come down anytime soon. It is the highest gas prices have been in the region since Oct. 31, 2018. According to McTeague, prices could climb about 10 cents per litre over the spring months, making $1.60 per litre the "new normal" for the rest of the summer. How is it acceptable for gas prices in #Vancouver to jump up 26 cents per litre in under two weeks and just in time for #SPRINGBREAK?? Corporate greed and gouging families is #notcool 😐 —@chadsmithjazzGas prices in Metro Vancouver broke records on Oct. 13, 2018 after a natural gas pipeline ruptured near Prince George, B.C.
