Ottawa drivers looking to save a few dollars at the pump should plan to fill up today, before prices jump.
What's Changing
According to CTV News, gas prices across the region are set to rise six cents a litre starting Saturday. For a typical 50-litre fill-up, that works out to an extra three dollars per tank, a small but noticeable hit for commuters and anyone road-tripping this weekend.
The Ottawa Angle
With many Ottawa residents driving to work, school runs, or weekend errands across the city and out to the Gatineau side, even a modest per-litre increase adds up over a month of regular fill-ups. Topping up the tank before Saturday is the simplest way to beat the hike.
No further details on the cause of the increase were provided. Check local station prices before heading out this weekend.
