To help consumers save on fuel costs, the new interactive gas price map from the Régie de l’énergie has officially launched. Since its debut on Wednesday morning, this resource allows users to view real-time fuel prices at over 2,500 gas stations across Quebec.
Real-Time Gas Prices: Access and Benefits
This innovative tool offers a significant advantage over other applications like GasBuddy, which rely on user-reported prices. Unlike these platforms, the information on the Régie’s map is sourced directly from retailers. They are mandated to update fuel prices within five minutes of any change.
How to Use the Gas Price Map
- Access the Régie de l’énergie’s gas price map online.
- Locate gas stations on the map by clicking on individual points.
- Check the displayed fuel prices to find the best deal in your area.
By utilizing this tool before filling up, consumers can potentially save significant amounts over time. When the map was reviewed right after its launch, gas stations in Quebec City largely had similar prices: 187.9 cents per liter for regular gas and 212.9 cents per liter for premium. In Montreal, most stations reported prices of 197.9 cents per liter for regular and 224.9 cents for premium.
Price Variations by Region
It’s important to note that fuel prices can vary considerably from one region to another. This new tool highlights these differences, making it easier for drivers to plan their refueling stops effectively.
In summary, by consistently checking this interactive gas price map, motorists can ensure they get the best fuel rates available in Quebec.
