Drivers in Metro Vancouver are in for a pleasant surprise this Thursday morning as they head to the gas pump. The cost of regular gasoline has fallen by four cents at numerous stations across the region, with some prices as low as $1.54 per litre in Vancouver.
Experts at Gasbuddy.com have attributed the recent drop in prices to the resolution of refinery issues in the U.S., which had caused a slight uptick in national average fuel costs last week. According to Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, the easing of these refinery problems could signal a period of slight relief for consumers.
Gasbuddy has reported that prices in Vancouver have decreased by 6.9 cents per litre compared to the same day last year. De Haan remains cautiously optimistic, stating that barring any major disruptions such as hurricanes or geopolitical changes, gas prices in Canada are likely to see only modest fluctuations as we head into the fall season.
