In Montreal, gasoline is available for less than $2 per liter in the Anjou ($195.9) and Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles districts.
The situation is the same in Brossard, where the price of gasoline fell to $193.9 on Boulevard Taschenreau, and in Laval, where gasoline on Avenue Jacques-Bureau/Autoroute 440 also cost $193.9.
The lowest price in the last 24 hours on Sunday was Saint-Zotique in Montérégie ($187.9).
“We’re going to take it under $2, but we’d take it even more under $1.50,” one man said in an interview with TVA Nouvelles.
“We go relaxed, we don’t dress too much. Even at $1.99, it’s still too expensive,” said another citizen.
The price of a liter of gasoline has surpassed $2 in the greater Montreal area since May 6.
According to statistics from CAA Quebec, the price in Toronto, Ontario has been below $1.90 per liter for more than a week. Elsewhere in Canada, the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta, had the lowest average price in the country for Sunday, averaging just under $1.79 for a liter of gasoline.
