Alberta advantage? Here's how gas prices compare to the rest of Canada right now

It’s no secret that gas prices are high right now, but how does Alberta compare to the rest of the country?

We looked at Gas Wizard, a fuel price forecasting site, to check out what gas prices are like across major Canadian cities.

Compared with the rest of the country, Alberta remains one of the cheapest places to fill up, particularly for regular gas.

Edmonton had the lowest regular gas price among the cities we compared. Calgary was slightly higher, but both cities were below every major market east or west of the Prairies.

The biggest gap was with Vancouver, where regular gas was 40 cents per litre higher than in Edmonton. On a 50-litre fill, that could mean a $20 difference!

Here’s how gas prices compared across Canada as of Friday, May 8, according to the site.
