Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. com says, “Gas prices have continued to ease across much of Canada over the last week, with nearly all provinces seeing declines, led by notable drops in the Prairies, where a recent U.S. refinery outage could briefly reverse some of the relief.”

He suggests that with oil prices remaining relatively stable and now falling to multi-year lows, combined with seasonal factors like lower demand, most Canadians could continue to see relief at the pumps in the weeks ahead barring any major disruptions.

Average retail gasoline prices in Saskatoon have fallen 12.3 c/L in the past week, averaging 115.71 c/L yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 81 gas outlets in Saskatoon. This compares with the national average that has fallen 1.7 c/L in the last week to 129.96 c/L.
