Costs to get out of the city rising as fuel prices keep inching up
BNN Bloomberg
The cost of gasoline keeps rising ahead of the May long weekend, making a jaunt out of the city cost a fair bit more than the same trip last year.
Natural Resources Canada says the average price across the country for regular gasoline hit $2.067 per litre on Tuesday for an all-time high, up 0.4 of a cent from Monday, while the price averaged $1.337 a litre in May last year.
So what does that translate into actual costs to drivers? Here's a breakdown of how much more you might have to pay, using as examples a decade-old Honda Civic with a combined fuel economy of about 6.3 litres per 100 kilometres, and a similarly-aged Ford F150 with a combined fuel economy of about 11 litres per 100 kilometres.
