By 250 News
The Price of gas at the pump in Prince George jumped to 113.9 a litre up from 108.9 or five cents a litre (18 cents a gallon) today.
The MJ Ervin &Associates survey taken on Tuesday shows just where prices have been sitting in Canada.
In the case of the Prince George region, the wholesale mark up is higher than most regions in the country, for example Vancouver has a 6 cent a litre tax, making their wholesale price 73.9 cents.
On the east coast the price of gas in Sydney, Nova Scotia is 115 cents a liter while the wholesale cost is just 75.4 cents in a controlled market.
