Drivers will get some relief from the pumps tomorrow as gas prices fall by three cents in the Greater Toronto area.
Average gas prices reached $ 209.9 a liter in southern Ontario on Wednesday, setting a new record and a huge 12-cent rise last Friday.
However, Canadian President for Affordable Energy Dan McTeague says prices will fall by three cents to $ 206.9 per liter from midnight.
Pump prices have risen since late February due to fuel shortages amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and international sanctions imposed as a result of the war.
Natural Resources Canada said the average price of regular gasoline in Canada reached $ 2.06 per liter on Monday, with the most expensive price in Vancouver being $ 2.34 per liter.
On Wednesday, Statistics Canada said annual inflation rose 6.8 percent year-on-year in April. The National Agency added that Canadian drivers paid 36.3% more for gasoline in April than a year ago.
