All you have to do is wait until Wednesday.

Ontario gas prices have been about as stable as a 2-year-old bouncing a yo-yo around, but this week they seem to be on the decline.
Rising gas prices have been a sore spot for many Ontarians' wallets, but if you're looking to save some money this week, you may want to hold off on filling up your tank until Wednesday.
Dan McTeague, gas analyst and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, tweeted on Monday morning that gas prices should drop by about 7 cents per litre on Wednesday in Ontario.
⛽️ Price 🚨: unless spooked energy markets change course throughout the day today, #GasPrices should FALL ~7 cts/litre WEDNESDAY for #Ontario #Quebec and Lower #BC Mainland
Regulated Atlantic Provinces will have to wait while Prairie gas bars observe a week’s delay you or down

However, the optimistic prediction may not come true if "spooked energy markets change course throughout the day today," said McTeague.
If you're nearing empty and have to fill up before March 30, the cheapest spots for gas in Ontario on March 29 will be Cornwall and Peterborough, according to Gas Wizard.
Gas prices are set to be 172.9 cents per litre in Cornwall and are expected to be 173.9 cents per litre in Peterborough on Tuesday.
Across the GTA and many cities in Ontario, gas prices are predicted to be at 177.9 cents per litre on Tuesday, so if you're close to Peterborough or Cornwall, a detour may be worth your time.
The most expensive area to fill up in will be Thunder Bay, with prices set to be 192.9 cents per litre, followed by Sudbury, where gas prices are expected to hit 187.3 cents per litre.
