Despite yet another jump at the pump so far this week, Alberta still has some of the lowest gas prices in Canada. Looking at the daily pump price survey done by Kalibrate, the highest prices yesterday are found in Vancouver at $2.15 and Victoria at $2.098. That’s some serious pain at the pump.
According to the daily pump price survey, the Canadian average at the pump for regular gasoline is $1.828, while diesel is $2.391.
