Gas Prices In BC Are Dropping In These Cities & Here's The Best Time To Fill Up

Make sure you time it right!

Western Canada Editor

Gas prices are dropping across B.C. and drivers can expect to save up to four cents a litre compared to the cost at the pump earlier this week.

According to Gas Wizard, a gas price prediction tool operated by Dan McTeague, it will cost drivers 178.9 cents a litre to fill up their vehicles in Vancouver on Thursday.

That comes as a brief respite to drivers who have faced record-breaking gas prices in the last few weeks, with prices hitting 182.9 cents a litre in Vancouver this week.

Elsewhere in the province, gas prices are also expected to drop on Thursday.

In Kamloops, prices drop to 161.9 cents a litre and in Kelowna it'll cost drivers 156.9 cents a litre. Victoria is set to be the most expensive place to fill up in B.C. with prices at the pump predicted to be 179.9 cents a litre.

For drivers who use premium gas, you can expect to pay between 176.9 cents a litre and 199.9 cents a litre across B.C.

In neighbouring Alberta, gas prices are predicted to be unchanged.

Prices at the pump in Calgary are expected to be cost drivers 146.9 cents a litre and in Edmonton they are predicted to be 143.9 cents a litre.

Earlier this week, McTeague told CTV that gas prices could spike to over 200 cents a litre for regular gas by the end of month due to the rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine and a supply crunch due to demand surging post-pandemic.
