New Westminster motorists are getting the gift of reasonably priced fuel before Christmas.
GasBuddy.com says the most affordable gas in the city is $1.62 per litre at the Centex and GOMarket, as of this publication, Dec. 22 (see full list below).
That number is a drop of three cents from the previous low of $1.65 per litre last Friday, Dec. 15, and five cents from that same station.
New Westminster's weekly average price, however, went up by two cents to $1.68 per litre as a result of some outlets enduring a slight bump at the pump.
The least expensive fuel in the region is currently $1.59 per litre at the Canco along Grosvenor Road in Surrey, as well as the Shell along East Hastings Street in Vancouver.
GasBuddy.com's latest report also indicates there are at least five outlets in B.C. offering less than $1.40 per litre.
The cheapest is $1.33 per litre at Canco in Lac la Hache — located 35 km north of 100 Mile House.
The Canco along Vedder Road in Sardis is the closest gas station within driving distance of Burnaby with the most affordable price available: $1.41 per litre.
