Gas Prices in BC Are Out of Control — Here's How Riders Are Saving $3,000/Year
Share
If you've filled up your tank recently in Metro Vancouver or Surrey, you already know the pain. BC consistently has the highest gas prices in Canada — regularly hitting $2.00+ per litre. For daily commuters, that's a brutal hit to the wallet every single week.
But a growing number of BC riders have found a smarter way to get around — and they're saving thousands every year doing it.
The Real Cost of Gas in BC
Let's do the math. The average BC commuter drives about 15,000km per year. At 10L/100km fuel consumption and $2.00/litre gas:
- 💸 Fuel cost: $3,000/year
- 💸 Insurance: $2,000+/year
- 💸 Maintenance (oil changes, filters): $500+/year
Total: $5,500+ per year just to keep a gas vehicle running.
The Electric Alternative

Total annual savings vs gas: $3,000 - $5,000+
