Montreal Gas Prices Soar Past $2/Liter

0:00It's May 1st, welcome to Canada News Today, powered by AI. Gas prices in Montreal have shot past $2 per liter at tons of stations over the last day. The national average from CAA sits at 184.7 cents per liter as a Friday morning, but here in the city, spots are. Pushing $2.05 easy. Some places like Shell on Graham Boulevard and Crevier on Dollar Avenue are hitting $2.3 99 cents, with SO nearby not far. Behind, at $2.9 cents, you can still find a few under 2 bucks though, like Ultramar on Ville Boulevard at $1.94.9 cents. If your hunting deals, drive out to the Costco and Laval off highways for 40 and 15. It's the lowest at $1.84.9 cents right now. Prices have been climbing steady all year, of nearly 30% in just 3 weeks back then. That spike tied back to wild swings and global oil markets from tensions between the US,

Good news, Quebec's government dropped a free tool last month to track it all, an interactive map at Regisans Equalbeck, Galafonia, Pulling Live. Prices from over 2,500 stations, including Costco's. No apps needed, just real-time data stations have to report. So check it before you roll out.
