It will cost you more to fill up the gas tank in Ottawa this weekend.
Canadians for Affordable Energy president Dan McTeague says after a 2-cent-a-litre price hike on Friday, gas prices will increase another 3 cents a litre on Saturday.
Gas prices will be sitting around 152.9 cents a litre, according to McTeague.
McTeague tells CTV News Ottawa the increase in gas prices is due to a rise in oil prices following tensions in the Middle East and gasoline and diesel prices are rising due to a "surprise crimp in supply" reported in the weekly petroleum report from the U.S. Department of Energy.
According to ottawagasprices.com, the most expensive price for a litre of gas on Friday is 149.9 cents a litre. One year ago, a litre of gas was selling in Ottawa for $1.42 a litre.
