Canadians expect gasoline prices at the pump to jump another 38% this year ($ 1.75 per liter) and 217% over the coming five year period ($ 2.72 per liter), as shown in table 1a. Canadians who rely mainly or entirely on the private sector for their household incomes seem especially inclined to expect a jump in pump prices. In households entirely reliance on private sector income, the average price forecast for 2013 is $ 2.75, compared to $ 2.63 among households entirely reliant on the public sector.
