Over the past week, drivers in Metro Vancouver have noticed a slight bump at the pump in Vancouver gas prices. The average cost of regular gas is hovering around 172.9¢ per litre, a modest rise from earlier in the month (source).
Why Are Prices Going Up?
- Global conflicts — Ongoing tensions in the Middle East, especially between Israel and Iran, are nudging crude oil prices higher, which impacts Vancouver gas prices. Each $1 increase per barrel can add about 1 ¢/L to gas prices).
- West Coast refinery woes — Fires and maintenance issues at California refineries continue to trim supply to the region, putting upward pressure on Vancouver gas prices (CityNews coverage).
- Seasonal fuel shift — The switch to more expensive summer-grade gas is underway, adding a few cents per litre to Vancouver gas prices.
- Carbon tax removal — On April 1, the federal consumer carbon tax was scrapped, removing roughly 17 ¢/L from prices. However, the drop is partly offset by the factors above.

What to Expect Next
Experts like Patrick De Haan from GasBuddy predict moderate increases of 5–10 ¢/L, due to global events and refinery issues. On the brighter side, if East Coast refinery challenges ease or crude prices drop, we could see Vancouver gas prices slide back to the $1.50–$1.60 range later this summer (Gas Wizard predictions).

- Fill up mid‑week — gas prices often dip on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
