Gas prices have broken the $2 per litre mark in Metro Vancouver

Gas prices have broken the $2 per litre mark at some stations around Metro Vancouver.

The website GasBuddy says the price for a litre of regular gasoline at some Shell and Chevron stations was just under $2.01 this morning, while PetroCan prices were set at one-dollar and 99-point-nine cents per litre.

That's a jump of almost 20 cents per litre in barely one week and Dan McTeague with Canadians for Affordable Energy says the war in Ukraine is a key reason.

He predicts prices will fall by one cent tomorrow and then climb by three or four cents a litre on Sunday or Monday _ saying ``things are going to get really bad'' very soon.
