The price of fuel in the province is expected to continue to rise over the next few months.
Manitoba is currently sitting at record highs at the pumps of around $1.50/L and experts say that it will only go higher as we approach the changeover from winter gas to summer gas.
Patrick De Haan, the head of Petroleum Analysis for Gas Buddy, said that there’s an expectation that gas prices could go up by 15 to 25 or 30 cents a litre by early summer because of the refineries ability to produce fuel temporarily due to regular maintenance at the changeover from winter to summer fuel as well as the demand for fuel as summer approaches and more people travel.
Patrick went on to say that the best way to make sure you get the best price at the pumps is to always price check on apps like Gas Buddy which could save you up to several hundred dollars by the end of the year.
