Gas prices in Ontario are expected to go up to 11 cents per liter over the next two days.
According to Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, gas prices will rise six cents per liter on Thursday to $1.68 per liter, before taking a five-cent jump on Friday to $1.73 per liter.
“We’re sailing back to $1.80 per liter range,” McTeague told CTV News Toronto on Wednesday.
He said people who need gas in Ontario should fill up today because prices aren’t expected to dip again soon, adding that prices will only go up as the summer months get closer.
“I think it’s pretty simple to conclude we will see days this summer where the potential is far greater than ever that we will see $2 per liter,” McTeague said.
In March, gas prices in Ontario hit record highs, soaring above $1.90 per liter because of the crisis in Ukraine.
