Gas analyst Dan McTeague says these prices haven’t been seen in the city since December 2022.
“The fluctuation takes place just before Christmas and then we start to see prices rally as they are doing everywhere else in North America. We got a bit of a break here,” said McTeague.
The impact of what McTeague calls a "Santa Claus rally" will likelty see prices rise between three and four cents per litre between now and Christmas Eve.
McTeague says the price of gasoline and diesel have fallen seven or eight cents a litre over the past week and a half, which he believes is in part to oil dropping to $68 per barrel earlier in the week.
“Much of that (is) not due to fundamentals of supply and demand, but perception and aspiration,” said McTeague.
