Gas prices expected to rise across southern Ontario again Saturday: analyst
After rising 11 cents per litre since Wednesday, another 12-cent increase is expected at the pumps, according to Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy.
MacTeague said a four-cent increase was expected, but that jumped to 12 cents with oil companies also including the increased rate for summer blend gas.“From April 15 until September 15, you’re supposed to use a different spec of gasoline,” MacTeague said. “The specification changes mostly so that the ingredients, the mixture does not include something that would evaporate easily or cause problems for vehicles in higher temperatures.”He said normally the change to summer gasoline causes a four- or five-cent increase, but with inflation, it now costs an additional seven to 7.5 cents per litre.
