Why gas prices are rising again in Quebec
Quebec gas prices keep climbing as Montreal nears $2/litre amid global oil shocks See what's driving the latest jump and how market tensions may affect drivers
Gas prices in Quebec have climbed several times since February, with Montreal prices now nearing $2 per litre. Fuel experts say the increase is being driven by ongoing tensions in the Middle East and other global factors affecting oil markets.
