Vancouver Gas Prices 2019 vs. 2020
Last year on April 15, 2019 I took a photo at a downtown Vancouver gas station as the prices were rising dramatically and I wanted to document it for history. This year as the prices were falling I went back out on the same day around the same time (after 3pm) on April 15, 2020 to document the price fall. What a difference a year makes - 74 cents/L! Fun fact: This is the only gas station in Vancouver's downtown penninsula. All other gas stations have been sold for development.
Price of gas was 95.9 cents/L at a downtown Vancouver gas station on April 15, 2020. Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Price of gas was $1.69/L at a downtown Vancouver gas station on April 15, 2019. Vancouver, BC, Canada.
