OTTAWA - A weekly report documenting gasoline prices in Canada shows the national average rate has fallen for the 15th straight week to a level not seen in almost five years.
Petroleum industry consultancy group MJ Ervin & Associates said Tuesday the average price of regular gasoline was 71.7 cents a litre, down 3.2 cents from a week earlier. That's the lowest this report has shown the national average since Jan. 6, 2004, when it was 71.4 cents.
The cheapest local average among the 60 communities profiled in the report was in Kingston, Ont., at 63.7 cents, down 7.1 cents from a week ago. The most expensive gas was in Labrador City, N.L., at 93.5 cents, the same as the week before.
BC's average gas price in July was $1.44 a litre, with some places as high as $1.56! Enjoy it as we apparently are not to expect it to continue to stay low. Some would be disappointed as they feel that this lower price will lead to more emissions. However, most of us will simply be able to afford to do the driving we need to do as well as have a bit more money to go to towards necessities!
