New Westminster motorists that choose to venture out into the ice and snow will at least find consistency at local fuel stations.
The most affordable gas in the city is $1.65 per litre at the Centex and GOMarket on Ewen Avenue, as of this publication, Jan. 19.
That's a drop of three cents from the $1.62 per litre offer last Friday, Jan. 12, according to GasBuddy.com's latest report.
The biggest bump at the pumps was five cents at the Essos on 6th Street and Sixth Avenue to $1.67 per litre from $1.62.
