Gas Prices Spike in Calgary, Oil Markets in Turmoil

About this episode

Calgary experiences a significant gas price increase amid global oil market instability.

Calgary drivers face a shocking gas price surge, with prices soaring over one dollar eighty cents per litre, a twenty-cent jump since Tuesday. This sudden increase coincides with global oil market turmoil in the Strait of Hormuz, causing West Texas Intermediate crude to skyrocket and pump prices to rise worldwide. Despite the federal governments pause on the gas tax and Albertas reluctance to adjust their formula, theres a glimmer of hope: if oil prices remain above ninety US dollars a barrel, Calgarians could see up to thirteen cents per litre in provincial relief by July.
