The cost of regular gasoline climbed to over $ 1.80 per litre in many areas Wednesday morning .

The price hike comes just days after B.C. confirmed it would scrap the consumer carbon price next week .

Petroleum analyst Dan McTeague attributed the price increase to higher spring break demand and the weak Canadian dollar.

He said any gas bar that fails to cut prices to match the tax cut will be punished.
