How to save on gas during your vacation

Gas prices in Quebec didn’t go up before the construction holiday this year. Will they hold steady? Even with a crystal ball it would be hard to predict where prices will go in the coming weeks. But here are some factors to consider:

• Lots of people travel in the summer, so demand for fuel is high. Gas prices often drop at the end of the summer.
• Tensions with Iran are causing instability.
• Some forecasts point to an intense hurricane season in North America, and that could affect refining capacity.

At 132.4¢ per litre on average in Montreal since the start of summer vacation, gas is much more expensive than in 2017 (116¢/litre), but slightly cheaper than last year (136.1¢/litre). All the same, fuel is expensive and using it wisely will help both your wallet and the planet.
