Drivers in southern Ontario may want to fill up their tanks before prices skyrocket over the weekend.
According to Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, pump prices are expected to rise by one cent per liter on Thursday and then jump another eight cents per liter on Friday.
That means drivers could have to pay around $174.9 cents per litre.
Stations in the Toronto area will be affected, as well as Ottawa, Hamilton, London, Barrie, Niagara, Windsor, Kitchener and Kingston.
Earlier this month, Ontario saw a significant drop in pump prices.
At the time, McTeague said the rate of decline was “unprecedented.”
“I’ve never seen a 72-hour period where gas prices are down 20 cents a litre,” he told CTV News Toronto just five days ago.
However, he also warned that “what goes up must come down.”
“The reality is that these prices, while welcome, may have an unpleasant surprise for all of us in the store.”
