The price of gasoline has once again jumped Tuesday morning in the greater montreal area, reaching in some places $ 1.32 per litre.

On Monday, the price per litre ranged from 1,13 $ 1,21 $, depending on the sector. On Tuesday, it reached $ 1.32, respectively, in most of the service stations in the region.

According to CAA-Quebec, the realistic price of a litre of regular is $ 1.29. “Limit or delay purchases of fuel if it is possible,” advises the grouping of motorists.

Since a few weeks, the price of gasoline increases significantly on Tuesday, down gradually over the week. The experts explain unclear why this increase occurs consistently this day.

Joined by “Le Journal de Montréal” at the beginning of February, the oil Ultramar, Petro-Canada, Sonic and even the Régie de l’énergie had all refused to comment on these “hikes” Tuesday”. A manager of a service station of the South Shore has said that he was only following the directives of its parent company.
