Where's the cheapest — and most expensive — gas in the Tri-Cities right now?

The Tri-Cities could be a hot spot for Metro Vancouver drivers as the region hosts some of the least expensive fuel ahead of the weekend.

Demand for gas in the last seven days south of the border has led to another increase in weekly Tri-Cities gas prices.

The good news (for now): the region is offering some of the lowest prices in all of Metro Vancouver with most staying just below $2 a litre.

GasBuddy.com is reporting 191.9 cents per litre at the Chevron off Shaughnessy Street in Port Coquitlam today (June 9), a four-cent uptick from last Friday (June 2) and matches the previous regional average price.

The volatility of the U.S. oil market has contributed to a spike in costs for fuel, particularly that in the Pacific Northwest.

And the prices are nearing a plateau the Tri-Cities has not seen in the last six months.

"There are no issues as far as refinery closures," Gas Wizard's Dan McTeague said in an earlier interview with Glacier Media.

"And there's no maintenance scheduled....so none of those factors which often pop up at this time of year are contributing. That we get here to $2 a litre means that we could start to see the new normal, at least for the balance of summer and into fall, in the $2.15 to $2.20 range."

Prices reached a recent low of 171.9 cents a litre back on May 19 before supplies became more scarce.

The new average is now around 193.9 cents per litre, offered at most outlets in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody.

Port Coquitlam's Costco (2370 Ottawa St.) experienced the biggest jump at the pump, charging 10 more cents to 197.9 per litre as of this publication.

Across B.C., the least expensive gas available dropped to 159.9 cents per litre — roughly an eight-hour drive north at Prince George's Costco (2555 Range Rd.).

The Safeway gas bar and Shell stops in Dawson Creek are the next best at 163.6 and 163.8 cents per litre respectively.
