Montreal Gas Prices Surge Over $2/Litre

0:00Gas prices in the greater Montreal area have climbed back over $2 per liter at several spots. Early Friday, stations on Park Avenue in Montreal and Jacques Cartier Boulevard in Long-Wheel hit $202.9 while one on the lay. Corbusier Boulevard in Laval reached $203.9. Things peaked even higher $205 on Sucy Street in Long-Wheel. Not every pump is that steep though. You can still find deals under $2, like $191.9 on Delacorte des Negas Road, $199.9 on Pierre-Fawns Boulevard and $194.9 on Ville Boulevard. Drivers are feeling the pinch hard, especially with everyday costs stacking up. This jumped ties into broader fuel pressures from the conflict involving Iran, making Phillips a real budget buster for folks commuting or just getting around town. Ottawa's stepping in with a temporary suspension of the federal gas tax to give some relief at the pumps amid these rising trends.
