Gas prices across Canada continue to hover at near-record levels, but drivers will be able to save some money at the pumps if they time it right.

According to Gas Wizard, a price prediction website, costs at the gas station will rise across most of Canada on Friday, March 25 by between one and three cents a litre.

Dan McTeague, gas price analyst and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, who runs the website, then predicts that gas prices will drop again tomorrow (Saturday, March 26) by up to three cents a litre.

So if your gas tank is running low and you plan on putting some miles on the dash this weekend, you may want to fill up on Saturday to save a little bit of money.
