VANCOUVER – For the first time in a long time, the price of gas has dipped below $1 in Metro Vancouver.
And we’re not just talking at Costco gas stations.
According to gasbuddy.com and online reports, the price of gas hit 99.9 on Thursday night. It has been that price and lower for a few days at most Costco gas stations.
Let’s take a look at some locations where gas has dipped below $1 for regular fuel in the past 24 hours:
- The Shell station at 8686 Granville St & W 71 Ave in Vancouver (99.9)
- The Chevron at 5505 Dunbar St & W 39 Ave in Vancouver (99.9)
- The Tempo station at 3855 Douglas Rd & Canada Way in Burnaby (99.9)
- The Petro-Canada at 6389 120th St & 64th Ave in Delta (99.9)

Many other stations are hovering around the $101.4 to $103.9 price and it is expected those prices will fall soon.
With the price of oil dropping, gas prices across Canada have been falling with it.
Average gas prices have fallen 48 cents per litre since June, while estimates on the cash households will be saving continue to rise as gas prices fall.
The latest, from BMO Capital Markets on Friday, suggests the country’s commuters and motorists will save about 1.9 per cent on their combined gas costs if pump prices hold where they are for the balance of 2015.
