Gas prices are continuing to drop around Metro Vancouver, with some stations in the region reporting prices in the $1.30-per-litre range.
Gas stations in Abbotsford and Langley were selling gas in the low $1.30 range as of Friday morning.
That's a nearly 40-cent drop since prices hit a record high of $1.72 in late April.
"Half the reason these prices have dropped has to do with trade tensions and escalating concerns about the world economy tiptoeing towards a recession, which would be very negative for demand for fuel products," said Dan McTeague, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com. "While we celebrate the fact that prices have dropped, the underlying reasons behind it aren’t exactly encouraging."
Prices at Vancouver, Surrey and Coquitlam stations were fairly consistent, with prices ranging from $1.39 to $1.459.
