Expect P.G. Gas Prices to Climb
By 250 News
While the latest survey shows Prince George's gas prices were among the highest in the country last week, hurricane Katrina is adding extra pressure.
The price for U.S. crude has topped 71 dollars a barrel during trading this week and with Katrina knocking out 25% of U.S. oil production, that may be just the start of the upward climb.
As of 8:40 last night, you could still get gas in Prince George for 1.099 per litre, but it jumped elsewhere:
Vancouver $1.13
Edmonton $1.02
Toronto $1.20
St. John's $1.156
Heading into the last long weekend of summer vacation (with plenty of tire traffic) don't be suprised to see the price of gas in Prince George jump before the day is through.
