Montreal-area gas prices dip below $2-per-litre
Prices at the gas pumps dropped from record highs by almost 20 cents and dipped below $2 for the first time in months in the Greater Montreal Area over the weekend.
On Monday morning, the gas price tracking site gasbuddy.com listed multiple stations just off the Island of Montreal below $2, with the Shell in Saint-Zotique at the lowest price at $1.95 per litre for regular fuel.
On the Island of Montreal, stations' per-litre prices are hovering in the $2.01-$2.07 range. There are a handful of stations across the island currently at an even $2.
