Gas prices in Windsor-Essex have risen to an average of 135.5 per litre, according to CAA, and people who spoke to CBC News at the pumps on Thursday were not exactly pumped about the situation. The cost of gas is nearing record highs across Canada as well as locally. Dan McTeague says gas prices are better in smaller communities than larger ones, and recommends fuelling up in the afternoon and evenings. As well, the continued closure of the Canada-U.S. border for all but essential travellers means less pressure for Windsor-Essex gas stations to compete with stateside bargains. "There's always a little bit of a deal in the United States," he said, adding that average gas prices in Detroit work out to around $1.12 per litre.
