Ontario Gas Prices Are Set To Drop Tomorrow & Here's Where It'll Be The Cheapest

Some slight relief at the pumps.

Ontario drivers are in for some much-needed relief tomorrow, with gas prices predicted to finally drop from the dismal heights they reached earlier this week. Although to be fair, the amount is hardly worth celebrating.

According to Gas Wizard, most of the province will see pump prices drop by a measly 1 cent per litre, bringing totals for cities like the GTA, London and Waterloo back to 189.9 on Thursday.

The dip doesn't offer much relief to motorists, but seeing as how gas prices rose by 4 cents on Wednesday, with some regions tying an all-time record, it's at the very least a positive change.

So, finding a genuinely cheap place for gas in Ontario right now is comparable to finding a needle in a haystack. However, a few areas sit notably lower than everywhere else.

On Thursday, Peterborough is expected to be the place in the province to be if you have to fill up your tank, offering up a comparatively respectable 183.9 cents per litre.

Meanwhile, Cornwall won't be trailing too far behind, with a predicted rate of 185.9.

Of course, you can't have yang without yin, with northern cities set to offer absolutely abysmal numbers at their pumps.

In fact, Sudbury is predicted to offer its drivers a whopping 202.3 cents per litre at its tanks on Thursday, with Thunder Bay offering a similarly dreadful 196.9 — both unchanged from today's price.

Thankfully, there is a plan in place to cool off the province's inflating gas prices during the start of the summer.

The Ontario government announced new legislation in April that, if passed, would cut the gas tax for six months.

Beginning July 1, 2022, the gas tax would be cut by 5.7 cents per litre, while the fuel tax — which includes diesel — would see a reduction of 5.3 cents per litre.
