Inflation at six-year high boosts case for rate hike
Elenna Mosoff usually gets her gas at a Costco in Etobicoke but ended up topping up the tank of her suv for $1.359 per litre at an Esso station on Strachan Ave. on May 14, 2018.

With oil prices climbing, analysts predict high prices at the pumps through spring and into the busy summer driving season. A global oil glut has been virtually eliminated, according to OPEC figures, thanks in part to an OPEC-led supply cut deal in place since January 2017 and fast-rising global demand.
