Analyst says Metro Vancouver gas prices to drop 7 cents Friday

Gas prices in Metro Vancouver have recently surged, with some stations reporting prices as high as $2.30 per litre. However, analysts predict a slight relief is on the way, with a drop of approximately 7 cents expected overnight.

Roger McKnight, chief petroleum analyst at EnPro, indicated that this forecast is based on wholesale price changes, although the final prices will ultimately depend on individual retailers. The price fluctuations are largely attributed to ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly the conflict involving the U.S. and Israel's actions against Iran.
