Gas prices in Thunder Bay have jumped again, two weeks after the last hike. 

At least one local gas station raised their prices by seven cents a litre overnight, leading to pump prices of almost $1.33-a-litre at some gas bars in the city by Wednesday morning.  

For the past two weeks, gas prices around the city have been hovering around $1.26-a-litre. But the local Esso stations have increased the price at some locations to a $1.29-a-litre, or nearly a $1.33-a-litre at the gas bar on Memorial Avenue. 

But many gas bars have so far resisted the spike, and as of Wednesday afternoon had kept prices where they've been for the last two weeks.
