Gas Prices in Metro Vancouver peak over $2 per litre for regular... again

Major rises and dips in gas prices this past month have truly put Metro Vancouver drivers through a lot.

The month started out rough after the region shattered North American gas price records several times.

However, drivers rejoiced when they could fill up their tanks with regular fuel that cost under $2 per litre for the first time in weeks. This was thanks to prices plummeting an astonishing 35-cent in less than 24 hours.
