Gas prices rising ahead of Thanksgiving weekend
Gas prices are soaring around Saskatchewan ahead of the Thanksgiving weekend and the higher prices could be here to stay for quite some time.
Prices are currently ranging from 139.9 to 143.9 cents a litre in Melfort. Most gas stations in Nipawin are at 137.9 cents a litre while Humboldt stations are still at 129.9 cents a litre. In Prince Albert, some stations are still at 131.9 while others have already climbed up to 143.9 cents a litre.
According to GasBuddy, prices are expected to continue to rise.
“The price of oil continues to advance in what’s turning out to be a global energy crunch trying to clamp down on energy consumption because of a lack of coal,” said head of Petroleum Analysis with GasBuddy, Patrick De Hann.
