Episode Details

Drivers in Toronto are breathing a sigh of relief as DraftKings handed out free full tanks of gas at a Scarborough station — a rare bright spot amid soaring fuel costs. With the federal government extending its temporary fuel tax cut until January 2027, motorists still save 10 cents per litre on gas and 4 cents on diesel, plus half the regular rate for February and March 2027. Stories from everyday Canadians like Omar, Ocean, and Mo reveal how high prices have forced drastic changes — cutting trips, switching to one car, or stretching budgets thin. While the relief is real, many say it’s not enough to make gas feel affordable — but there’s hope that these measures will ease the burden if underlying price pressures start to ease.
