Gas prices plummet across Canada

 

The average price of gasoline in Canada has dropped significantly in the past week, according to the latest data from GasBuddy.com. The national average is now 136.4 cents per litre, down 4.4 cents from last week. The decline is driven by lower oil prices, which have fallen sharply due to oversupply and weak demand amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Some regions have seen even steeper drops in gas prices. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has the lowest average price in the country, at 125.9 cents per litre, down 7.9 cents from last week. The Maritimes also experienced a sharp decline, with Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island all seeing their average prices fall by more than 6 cents per litre.

GasBuddy.com analyst Dan McTeague says the trend is likely to continue, as oil producers struggle to find buyers for their excess supply. He predicts that gas prices could drop another 5 to 10 cents per litre in the coming weeks, depending on the region.

"This is unprecedented. We've never seen anything like this before," he says. "It's a buyer's market for gasoline right now."
