Fuel inflation is very real as the price of gasoline has shot past $2 a litre.

Most stations were charging $2.06.9 a litre for regular gas—another double digit increase.

Gas prices have been rising in other regions of the country as well. Vancouver set a new record of just under $2.37 a litre this morning.

The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) is asking the federal government to reduce the carbon tax and the provincial government to cut back on its own fuel taxes. SARM President Ray Orb says skyrocketing diesel and gas costs will force rural municipalities to dig into reserves in an effort to keep maintaining service levels.
