Pandemic Impacting Gas Sales

It’s another sign of the economic impact of the pandemic.

Gasoline sales hit a 20-year low in 2020, falling an average of 14 per cent across the country.

Statistics Canada says with many people working from home, they weren’t using their vehicles as often.

Travel restriction were also a factor.

Ontario recorded the largest decline, with gross sales falling 18 per cent.
