Ontario Gas Prices Set To Drop Again Tomorrow & March Break Travel Plans Just Got Cheaper

Ontario drivers will get to breathe a sigh of relief at the pump this weekend as gas prices continue to drop after weeks of record-breaking highs.

President of Canadians for Affordable Energy and gas analyst Dan McTeague gave motorists the good news via a tweet, saying that "confused energy markets reversing course" were behind the drop.

As a result, gas prices for most Ontario cities are set to drop by 6 cents per litre on Saturday, with totals of 169.9 cents per litre for Toronto, Niagara, Oshawa, Oakville, Waterloo, and Kingston.

However, some spots, including London, Barrie and Cornwall, will drop by 7 to 8 cents per litre, resulting in slightly cheaper costs.

The most affordable place for gas in the province will be Cornwall, offering gas at 166.9 cents per litre thanks to an 8-cent drop, followed closely by Peterborough (167.9) where gas prices are expected to drop by a whopping 11 cents.

McTeague had previously reported that the gas prices would drop by a remarkable 15 cents on Friday after rising by 6 cents per litre the day before, bringing totals to 190.9 cents per litre for most Ontario cities.

The massive fluctuation in the cost of gas hasn't gone unnoticed. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation recently called on Premier Doug Ford to fulfill his promise of cutting gas prices.

"One of the central pledges of his campaign was to lower gas prices by 10 cents per litre. Ford delivered on part one of that promise, scrapping Ontario’s cap-and-trade carbon tax. But the second part of his promise, to lower the excise tax by 5.7 cents per litre, remains unfulfilled," a statement from the federation reads.
