CHILLIWACK – Unleaded gas prices soared well above the $2/litre mark in Chilliwack after the latest overnight price hike exceeded well over 20 cents a litre.

Gas stations up and down Vedder Road in Sardis showed sharply higher prices Tuesday morning, less than 24 hours after unleaded gas prices were less than $1.90/litre at some gas stations.

A Chilliwack-area Facebook group Monday night urged people to take advantage of prices as low as $1.849/litre at places like Centex near the social assistance office on Yale Road, and Centex near Freshco.

On a 30-litre fill-up, the latest increase translates to roughly $7 more. On a 50-litre fill-up, that’s over $10 more just to fill up your tank.

People in that same Facebook group urged people to fill up on Mondays since gas prices seem to increase by Tuesday mornings.
