Gas Prices Rise Around The Region

All good things must come to an end it seems. Gas prices in the region have slowly crept up to the dollar mark, with most stations now charging over a dollar per litre of regular.

There are still a few exceptions, some stations in Mount Forest, Hanover and Fergus are charging just shy of a buck per litre.

Midwestern Ontario is still below the provincial average of a $1.03 per litre.

If you didn't fill up your vehicle this weekend, it is best to fuel up sooner, rather than later. Gas buddy dot com is reporting that prices will continue to rise.

Looking for optimism about local gas prices?  This time last year the price was a $1.33 per litre.
