He usually puts $60 in the tank to make his near-daily commute to the Niagara area. On Friday, he opted to try a $40-fill-up.
Hermain Kazmi called the tax cut a move in the right direction as he pumped gas into his car.

The situation has also been exacerbated by a global supply crunch caused in part by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
