Gas prices are way lower in parts of Atlantic Canada than in Alberta
Gas prices in Alberta have ballooned in the past couple of weeks and now the price at the pump in parts of Atlantic Canada is lower than what can be found in the province.
According to the latest daily pump price survey from Kent Group, regular gas in Edmonton sits at $1.693 per litre on March 2, 2022. Calgary is at $1.721 per litre.
Gas has also shot up across Alberta in the past couple of weeks, with Red Deer at $1.657 per litre and Lethbridge at $1.620 per litre.

Alberta lost some of its gas tax relief on October 1Â after it was introduced in the spring due to sky-high prices at the pump, going from a reduction of 13 cents per litre to 8.5 cents per litre.
The survey reported that the average across Canada is $1.807 per litre.
Sure the price to fill up your vehicle in Edmonton or Calgary is frustrating compared to Atlantic Canada prices, but just try to ignore the number at the pump.
Things could be much worse — we could be paying through the nose like most of British Columbia is, with Vancouver sitting at $2.408 per litre. Ouch!
