Gas prices in Ontario are like a surprise party that nobody asked for, and on Tuesday, the surprise is that you'll have to pay more tomorrow.

According to Dan McTeague, gas analyst and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, prices are set to rise by 7 cents in the GTA and by 6 cents in most of Ontario this Wednesday.

McTeague quote tweeted a tweet of his from April 18 reminding folks to "Fill up today" before the impending price hike. So if you've been waiting for payday to fill up your gas tank, you may just want to bite the bullet and hit the pumps before the increase.

McTeague predicts that in Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa and Kitchener, prices will rise to 184.9 cents per litre, while most of Ontario will increase to 183.9 cents per litre.

The most expensive areas to fill up in on Wednesday will be Sudbury and Thunder Bay, with prices expected to be at 186.9 cents per litre, according to Gas Wizard.

So unless you're in a pinch and in dire need of some gas, it might be worth driving to another area to fill up and save a little money.

The cheapest area to get gas will be in Kingston, with prices anticipated to remain at 177.9 cents per litre, followed by Cornwall, with prices set to rise by 4 cents to 179.9 cents per litre on Wednesday.

If you happen to drive through either area, it may be wise to fill up your tank.
