With two exceptions as of best info at the time of this posting, local gas stations have this week all-but implemented a meaningful four cent per litre price bump at the pump.
Prices had settled in the 111.6-111.9 cents per litre range as of late until turbulence set in in both directions on Wednesday. A newly re-branded Husky-managed Esso at the city’s extreme Northwest boundary opened on that day offering a reduced 109.6 as a seemingly introductory rate. From that same day and into Thursday a handful of other stations went the complete opposite direction toward the 115s with many others holding a price in the 111s.
By Friday at 1:30pm just one station remained in the 111s- 7/11’s Petro Canada at 34th and Victoria. Husky Esso continued to post their seemingly introductory 109.6.
Husky Esso had distributed a grand opening coupon with an additional 2 cent per litre discount with Hi-way Esso across the Trans Canada Highway on Middleton Avenue also honouring the same coupon.
With gas prices being a fluid thing that could change at any moment it’s advised checking with your brand and station of preference for their rate, which should also be generally updated quite quickly via Gas Buddy:

The new price reality puts Brandon almost exactly on the current displayed provincial average of 115.5 cents/litre.
Update: As of 7:30am Saturday morning all stations were showing 115.6 - 115.9 cents/litre
