Factors Affecting Gas Prices

Several factors influence gas prices in Ontario:

• Global oil prices - Changes in world oil markets affect domestic prices
• Refinery operations - How efficiently Canadian refineries process crude oil
• Taxes and fees - Provincial and federal taxes impact the final price
• Seasonal demand - Prices often rise in summer and fall due to increased driving
• Transportation costs - How much it costs to move oil from refineries to gas stations

These factors can cause gas prices to fluctuate, so it's important to check current prices before planning trips or budgeting.
