After the shocking overnight price increase of gas across the country last month, many Canadian motorists have experienced a similar jump again in Ontario, just hours ahead of the busy Victoria Day long weekend.

The fuel price per litre went up by nearly three cents (hitting roughly 136.9 per litre) in the Toronto area and most of southern Ontario on Thursday night. If you haven’t already filled up you’ll likely end up getting hosed at the pumps for a few extra cents this Victoria Day weekend. According to the helpful website TomorrowsGasPriceToday.com, fuel prices are 9.3 cents per litre more expensive today than roughly this same time last year.

While it’s a bit late to avoid the spike of long weekend gas prices, we’ve put together these helpful gas-saving tips on ways to drastically improve your fuel economy. Long gone are the days when gas cost less than a dollar a litre; the last time the average price of regular gasoline dipped below the loonie was back in the summer of 2010.
