Vancouver poised to again shatter North American gas-price record: analyst

Gas prices in Metro Vancouver are once again poised to shatter an all-time North American record, and analysts say geography and politics mean slim chances for long-term relief.

"Gas will be 239.9 on Thursday and that will smash an all-time record for any city in North America. That's Vancouver," said Dan McTeague, fuel analyst and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy.

While Metro Vancouverites are shelling out record prices at the pumps, their countrymates in Toronto are paying somewhere in the ballpark of $1.49 per litre.

The difference means a 50-litre fill up in Toronto is more than $43 cheaper than in Vancouver. So what's behind the price difference? Global News reporter Aaron McArthur reports.
