Northern Ontario motorists experienced more pain at the pumps on Friday as gas prices spiked across the region. In Timmins, the price jumped more than 12 cents per litre, a trend seen throughout northern Ontario. The sudden increase has left many drivers frustrated, with some stations reporting prices well above the provincial average. Analysts attribute the spike to a combination of rising crude oil costs and seasonal demand shifts. Local residents are advised to shop around for the best prices as the situation may persist. The spike comes amid broader economic pressures, including inflation and supply chain disruptions affecting fuel distribution.
