Drivers are changing their daily habits as local gas prices jump above $1.90 a litre for regular fuel. CTV's Kimberley Johnson speaks with taxi driver Gulnabi Meemapal, who says the high costs are devastating and force him to work extra hours to cover expenses. Honda dealership service director Ben Featherston notes that the high pump prices are driving consumers to consider hybrid and electric vehicles as alternatives. Canadians for Affordable Energy president Dan McTeague advises consumers to wait before filling up, predicting costs will drop by four cents tomorrow due to market shifts.
