SASKATCHEWAN — Provincial fuel prices declined an average of 1.6 cents per litre this week, landing at 125.19 cents per litre, according to GasBuddy’s Monday report. The drop comes as several Canadian provinces saw slight increases in pump prices.
Regina posted a 1.8-cent decline to 124.62 c/L, while Saskatoon fell 3.3 cents to 122.71 c/L. Winnipeg also saw a decrease, averaging 128.18 c/L, down 2.7 cents.
Nationally, the average price rose 0.8 cents per litre to 134.94 c/L. Prices remain 13.5 cents below this time last year, despite climbing 4.0 cents over the past month.
“Canada’s national average price of gasoline was little changed over the last week, with provinces nearly split between rising and falling prices,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. Saskatchewan and Manitoba were among those seeing decreases.
De Haan added that steady oil prices near US$60 a barrel and easing seasonal demand may lead to additional downward pressure on gas prices if refineries operate without new disruptions.
