For the second time in three days the price at the pump has increased.
On Thursday it had climbed $0.08 to $1.079 per litre of regular fuel. On Tuesday morning it went from $0.88 to $0.99.
Dan McTeague, with Gas Buddy, has tied the increase to Hurricane Harvey and earlier this week estimated the price could hit $1.10 in Winnipeg.
