Gas prices are soaring in Greater Montreal, surpassing $2 a litre once more as global oil markets feel the impact of ongoing unrest in the Middle East. This surge is directly affecting motorists, who are facing higher costs at the pump.
In some Montreal stations, prices have reached 200.9 cents per litre, while in Saint-Léonard, they have hit 201.9 cents. The situation is more favorable off the island, with gas prices below 190 cents per litre in Brossard and Longueuil.
Across other regions in Quebec, the average prices vary. Quebec City sees an average of 186.9 cents per litre, while in Gatineau, prices stand at 175 cents and in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, they are around 180 cents.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East, with concerns over fuel shipments through the vital Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global oil route, is further exacerbating the upward pressure on gas prices.
