Liberal MP and gas price watchdog Dan McTeague says drivers can expect a jump in price at the pumps this morning.

The price of oil has been rising on world markets, but McTeague says the real reason for the increase is "pure profit taking."

Here in Fort Frances, gas prices rose five cents a litre to 94.9 cents a litre.

In some parts of the province, the cost of gas has risen 15 cents a litre in just the last three weeks.
