Canadians all over the country, especially in Ontario, are having to think twice about planning a road trip this September long weekend. Ontario gas prices haven’t been this high since 2014 and the average cost to fill up your tank is currently sitting around $1.40/L. So, if you’re planning to fill up this week, expect your gas bill to be a little higher then usual.

Higher Gas Prices

If you’re a gas-conscious driver, you’re likely to rely on the trusty GasBuddy app to find the cheapest gas in your area. Sadly right now in Ontario, whether you’re at a Petro Canada, Esso or Circle K, gas is expensive and there’s no way of escaping it.

Gas analysts predicted that gas prices would remain high throughout the entire summer and sadly, they didn’t miss. These spike are effecting major cities like Toronto, Barrie, London, Windsor, Kitchener, Hamilton and Kingston.
