WINNIPEG — If your gas tank is running low, you may want to fill up sooner rather than later.
Gas prices across the city could rise around seven to eight cents a litre Thursday afternoon. If it’s not Thursday, it’s expected to rise in the next few days. That’s according to Dan McTeague, gas price analyst at gasbuddy.com who tracks wholesale and retail prices for gasoline.
“This increase of seven to eight cents per litre is coming, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when,” McTeague told 680 CJOB.
He said the reason for the spike in price could be a possible agreement among OPEC countries to cap oil production.
As of Thursday morning, the average price at the pump in Winnipeg is $0.94/litre, according to gasbuddy.com.
