Ontario Gas Prices Could Drop By 4 Cents Tomorrow & These Spots Will Be The Cheapest
Make sure to fill up ahead of the weekend.
The only thing more inconsistent than Ontario's weather this spring is its gas prices. But, thankfully, for motorists, things are heading in a positive direction at the pump this week.
According to Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, gas prices will drop by 4 cents on Friday, bringing the overall total price down to 164.9 cents a litre for most of the GTA.
The drop will follow Thursday's 2 cent drop, which is expected to affect most southern cities, including Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Barrie, and Kitchener.
Gas Wizard reports that the cheapest places for gas by the end of the workweek will be Windsor, London, and Cornwall, which will all sit at 163.9 cents per litre.
On the other hand, the places that will continue to drain your bank account due to their annoyingly high gas prices will be Thunder Bay, 188.9, and Sudbury, 180.9.
So, if you can avoid filling up in those areas without too much hassle, you probably should.
Thankfully, things could be looking up for Ontario drivers thanks to some new long-term plans to keep prices down.
On Monday, the government announced new legislation that would cut the gas tax by 5.7 cents per litre and the fuel tax by 5.3 cents per litre as of July 1, 2022.
The reduced gas tax rate would last until December 31, 2022, and is part of a plan to cut living costs for Ontario families and businesses.
Hopefully, the future will have far fewer groan-worthy days at the pump.
