Prices at the pump exceeding $2 a litre in Vancouver could be a sign of higher energy prices to come for all of Canada, as the conflict in the Middle East ends its third week.
According to GasBuddy.com, the price of a litre of gas in British Columbia averaged $1.94 on March 20, while the average in the city of Vancouver was $2.02 per litre—the highest in the country. Gas prices have risen in every province except Alberta in recent weeks, with the average across Canada now at $1.72.
