NEW: Ottawa Delivery drivers still struggling with the cost of fuel as gas drops to the cheapest price in months ottnews
Michel Bigras owns W Flowers in Nepean, the bulk of his business comes from delivering those flowers to customers.
The average price of gasoline in Ottawa a year ago was about $1.30 a litre and near 92 cents a litre two years ago. On Sunday, gas was selling at around $1.67 per litre. "When it goes up, delivery drivers and Uber drivers are pretty heavily hit by it,” says Gibara. “I spend about $500 per week on gas. I drive about 40 hours a week, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less. Obviously, it depends on the fluctuating prices, but I fill up about every other day and when I get that gas bill it’s never fun."
A Gatineau resident fills up the gas tank at a station in Ottawa on Sunday. He says the price of gas is about 17 cents a litre cheaper in Ottawa.
