Gas prices rise as long weekend arrives
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Motorists in Medicine Hat were greeted with higher gasoline prices, just ahead of the long weekend. And we are not alone.
Prices at some stations in Medicine Hat were posted at $1.39.9 for a litre of regular gasoline.
Motorists in many parts of Canada are expected to see rising gasoline prices as they fire up their vehicles for road adventures on the Victoria Day long weekend.
But price direction will vary across the nation, said fuel market analyst Dan McTeague of GasBuddy.com, with prices rising in Ontario, the Maritimes, Manitoba and Saskatchewan but actually expected to fall from recent peaks in Alberta and Quebec.
