Gas prices have taken a significant hit as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic. GasBuddy says a month ago they noticed the first signs of gas prices dropping and now prices across the country are remarkably low. The price of gas across Renfrew County is different in each community.
According to GasBuddy, the cheapest gas available in Renfrew County is in Pikwakanagan for just over 71 cents per litre, the cheapest gas in Renfrew is just under 85.9 cents per litre with most locations charging 89.9 per litre, all gas stations in Arnprior are currently under 80 cents per litre, Calabogie has prices around 77 cents per litre, in Cobden gas is upwards of 87 cents and if you go to Ottawa it looks like the cheapest gas is at Costco for 67.9 cents per litre.
Petroleum analysts at GasBuddy say the coronavirus has caused countries to be in lockdown with limited driving, flying and overall movement meaning the demand for oil is low. Gasbuddy says for the better part of 2020, prices will be some of the lowest we’ve experienced in a while.
