It may seem like a dream, but rest assured it’s true: the price of gas fell below one dollar a litre in many parts of Metro Vancouver this weekend.

Drivers are getting a break because the price of oil is plummeting. The Bank of Canada questioned gas companies this week about the disconnect, noting the price of oil doesn't match the high cost of gas, which should be dropped accordingly.

On Sunday, line-ups could be found at gas stations across the region with elated drivers taking advantage of the cheaper price.

“Wow, I need to get some gas today, right? It doesn't matter if I'm a quarter low,” said one smiling driver.

“I don’t remember [prices this low], it’s been that long,” one woman told CTV News. “It’s thrilling.”

“It’s one of those things you can’t worry about – it’s like the weather, you can’t change it, why worry?” another Metro Vancouverite said, laughing.

But despite the savings, Vancouver still has the highest gas prices of all the major cities in Canada.

The average cost of gas in the country is 88.28 cents per litre, according to the price monitoring website Gas Buddy. The prairies have the cheapest prices - gas in Edmonton and Calgary is often in the sixties – followed by the Maritimes where prices are as low as 89.1 cents.
