This means that gas prices are set to rise to a whopping 149.9 cents a litre in some parts of Ontario, including Toronto, London, Hamilton, Kitchener and more.
McTeague told Narcity that "the small increase of 1 cent represents a fresh new high for gasoline and diesel."
This record-breaking increase isn't exactly a surprise, as gas prices have already broken provincial records this month.
