For decades, drivers in the Canadian oil-producing province of Alberta filled up their cars and pickups with the cheapest gasoline in the country. Not any more.
A provincial carbon tax of 4.49 cents a liter went into effect in the new year that makes Alberta the third-cheapest province to buy gasoline. The fuel averaged C$1.11 a liter ($3.16 a gallon) in the province on Tuesday, higher than Manitoba’s C$1.08 and Saskatchewan’s C$1.06 a liter, according to GasBuddy.com, a pump price tracking website.
