Since breaking the all-time record Wednesday, the price of gasoline in Metro Vancouver has done it again, and again, climbing another 23 cents in just four days.

That means it costs drivers $11.50 more to fill up a 50-litre tank than it did just a few days ago.

“Of course I left it until this morning, and it just jumped by 10 cents,” one Vancouver resident told CTV News. “I am just trying to wrap my head around everything: Food, gas, the cost of living, I mean, it’s an expensive city.” Most gas stations were relatively quiet Sunday, except for a handful that were still charging 198.9 a litre. Those pumps saw drivers lined up to buy what’s now considered “cheaper” fuel, but was a record-breaking high just a couple of days ago.

Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, said Sunday that he thinks prices will keep climbing through the coming week.“We’ve got to get more independent,” said another driver. “We’ve got to start getting more refineries, more options. You know, don’t put all our eggs in one basket.”

The rapid spike is due largely to increased demand for fuel, the price of oil and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Painful gas prices continueGas prices are expected to hit a record high on Sunday. And all of the pain attributable to oil and gas industry. Prices per barrel set but a foreign cartel. A ridiculously profitable Industry still subsidized by Canadian taxpayer’s $$$ to the tune of about $240,000 for every O&G in Canada. We need to stop the corporate welfare. Apparently the stupid taxes are accomplishing nothing more than driving up prices everywhere! plugin
