Gas prices will be rising 6 cents on Saturday in Waterloo Region, En-Pro tells CityNews, making for a total jump of 12 cents in two days.

Prices rose six cents to 184.9 cent(s) on Friday and will rise another six to 190.9 cent (s) by Saturday.

Late last month, the federal government introduced a bill to extend the federal gas tax pause for several more months as gas prices remained high.

The Liberals temporarily suspended the federal 10-cent-per-litre excise tax on April 14 after the U.S. war on Iran caused global fuel prices to spike.

Gas prices are still high as the Strait of Hormuz remains a supply line choke point.
