gas prices

Gas prices expected to reach a low in Toronto not seen since 2003

Gas prices have been falling in Toronto (一个d all over the country) for quite some time now, and they're expected to decrease once again overnight tonight to reach an average of 65.9 cents/litre across the GTA.

According to 680 News,En-Propredicts the average price will fall 8 cents at midnight tonight.

When was the last time gas prices were this cheap, you may ask?

According to Statistics Canada, the last time gas prices fell below 66 cents/litre in Toronto was in July of 2003, when the average price was 65.8 cents/litre.

Oil prices have been steadily falling for a while nowdue to two factors: less demand due to the COVID-19 outbreak and an all-out price war between Russia and Saudi-Arabia.

In early March, talks between theOrganization of Petroleum Exporting Countries一个d its allies broke down — ending the cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Russia that has supported oil prices since 2016 and leading to an all-out price war between the two countries.

As a result, theglobal standard oil pricedropped dramatically.

So while now may seem like a good time to fill up considering the wildly low gas prices across the GTA, don't forget tolisten to public health officials一个d stay home as much as possible to help curb the spread of COVID-19.
