B.C. drivers should brace for higher gas prices

VANCOUVER —   A petroleum industry analyst is warning B-C drivers to brace for record high gasoline prices this summer.

     Dan McTeague of the online tech company GasBuddy says starting next month, gasoline prices across much of B-C’s south coast will hover around a dollar and 60 cents a litre.

     He blames the hike on high demand and chronically short supply.

     McTeague says the situation will be made worse once the Olympic pipeline, which distributes gasoline throughout Washington and Oregon, is taken off line for several days of planned maintenance.
