McTeague’s gas price forecast says prices in Vancouver will see an increase of about 11 cents to $2.279 by Saturday.

Gas prices in Vancouver have been above $2.00 a litre for the last month, and analysts say they could only get higher as the long weekend approaches.

Gas analyst Roger McKnight said that high gas prices could be here for a while, so it’s no surprise that many Canadians are rethinking their road trip plans.

According to the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada, 66% of drivers in Canada say they plan to cancel or alter their road trips because of oil prices. For drivers aged 18 to 24, the number of people planning to skip or change their road trip plans climbs to a whopping 75%.
