You're paying more at the grocery store, you're paying more when you buy a house and you're certainly paying more at the pump to fill up your vehicle.
Gas prices continue to soar and in Dauphin, gas prices are sitting at just more than 2.07 per litre.
And while it would be nice to share some good news on that note, Patrick DeHaan with GasBuddy shares why prices are as high as they are.
"The price of oil has continued to move up and the ultimate problem continues to be demand is very high and the supply is very low," said DeHaan. "Also the number of refineries that have closed in Canada and the United States over the past few years."
With a full summer ahead, Patrick expects that gas prices will continue to rise and they could do so dramatically. He expects in the very near future prices could reach 2.14 a litre and at their worst, prices could rise to more than 2.30 per litre.
"It's just a matter of time before we hit 2.10 and prices will continue to rise from there," said DeHaan. "If there is a hurricane somewhere in the world or a major disruption, I wouldn't be surprised to see prices rise to 2.50 per litre."
Patrick says there isn't much good when it comes to the price of gas but it's something that we have to deal with.
