After a jump in gas prices Wednesday, expect prices to rise again before the weekend.
Industry experts say prices could jump as much as 10 cents a litre. This would continue to establish new records for the price of gas across the province.
The Ontario average should be about 1.70 per litre. Some experts are predicting 1.76 per litre later this month.
Russia’s attack on Ukraine is playing a major part, with sanctions being placed on Russia causing prices to rise, as that country is the world’s third-largest oil producer.
