Ontario gas prices are back on the rise after a brief cool down this week, and you'll want to fill up on Thursday.

Dan McTeague, gas analyst and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, warned Ontarians to hit the pumps on Thursday before prices are predicted to increase on Friday in a tweet quoting his prediction.

"After falling 4 cents Thursday, #GasPrices are set to rebound, up 5 cents a litre Friday to 197.9 for #Toronto #Ottawa #GTA #Hamilton #Kitchener #Barrie #Niagara #Windsor #LdnOnt #Kingston and most of #On & #Qc," reads the original tweet posted on May 11.

Across Ontario and the GTA, gas prices in many areas are set to rise by 5 cents to 197.9 cents per litre, according to Gas Wizard, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to find a slightly cheaper deal.

The least expensive areas to fill up on Friday will be Cornwall, with prices set to be at 188.9 cents per litre, and Peterborough, where prices are anticipated to rise by 2 cents to 189.9 cents per litre. Thunder Bay will also be a bit cheaper, with prices expected to be at 193.9 cents per litre.

So if you happen to be in one of the surrounding areas or are driving through, it may be worth making a pit stop for gas.

This Friday, you'll most likely want to avoid filling up in Sudbury, where gas prices are expected to be at 205.3 cents per litre.
