Manitoba gas prices still too high, advocate says, as carbon rebate payments go out
As of Friday morning, Dan McTeague, president ofthat gas prices have dropped significantly in Ontario and out west, but Manitoba hasn’t seen much movement.
“Gas stations here in Winnipeg and across the province that are charging anywhere from $1.85 to $1.89 are making off with 25 to 30 cents a litre as a retail margin,” he said.“That’s excessive, and it’s going to get called offside sooner or later.”McTeague said a gas station’s wholesale price — when all federal, provincial and carbon taxes are factored in, comes out to around $1.60 per litre.
McTeague’s comments come as the federal government begins sending out the first of its quarterly Climate Action Incentive payments to people in Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
