The May long weekend typically marks the start of camping season and, as we head into a sunny stretch, it's likely that many Metro Vancouverites will be hitting the road.
If you're wondering when to fill up your tank before embarking on a road trip, gas prices are expected to hold relatively steady with only the slightest of increases projected.
"I'd expect prices to be around $1.83 on average in Vancouver for the long weekend," predicts Patrick De Haan, Head of Petroleum Analysis at GasBuddy. "For comparison, we're at about $1.812 today, and with oil prices up lately, we could see a slight rise before the holiday."
According to , in the past month, gas prices have hit a high of 196.9/L and a low of 178.8/L in Vancouver with a provincial average of 178.3/L trending upward over the last two days. We also have the most expensive gas in the country right now.
