Well Vancouver, it looks like we’re back on top! Of gas prices, that is. A recent report from Stats Canada has us pegged at the highest price per litre of gas across the country. So no, you’re not alone in thinking that prices are too dang high right now.
For the month of January, Vancouver was looking at a whopping 134.6 cents a litre on average. At the time, that was a full 6 cents a litre more than the next highest city, which was, surprise again, Victoria. Meanwhile, most Canadian cities were hovering around 100 to 110 cents.
