Ontario gas prices are back at it again, and this weekend they're set to break records that may make you want to hide your wallet and throw away your keys.
Dan McTeague, gas analyst and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, predicted in a tweet posted on June 2 that gas prices will rise three cents per litre this Saturday following a five-cent increase on Friday, bringing prices to 211.9 cents per litre in most of southern Ontario.
