Gas prices are still trending downward for New Westminster motorists to fill up before heading out for the May long weekend.
GasBuddy.com says the Centex and GOMarket on Ewen Avenue is still offering the current cheapest rate at $1.94 per litre, two cents less than its previous plateau of $1.96 per litre.
That's the fourth least expensive gas in Metro Vancouver, and nine cents behind Richmond's Super Save Gas on No. 5 Road at $1.85 per litre, as of this publication, May 17.
The biggest drop was six cents from last Friday, May 10, from $2.03 to $1.97 at three New West stations (see list below).
New West's average price for gas is currently $1.98 per litre as a result of the decreases.
Meanwhile, one gas station in all of B.C. is selling fuel for less than $1.60 per litre.
Once again, Quesnel's Super Save Gas (914 Front St.) is the province's least expensive price for gas, dropping one cent to $1.59 per litre in the last week.
Outlets in Salmon Arm, Prince George, West Kelowna and Kamloops make up the rest of the top 10 cheapest prices, for now, ranging from $1.62 to $1.67 per litre.
