Ottawa Gas Prices Will Plunge 10 Cents Per Litre This Thursday

URGENT UPDATE: Ottawa motorists are in for a significant break at the pump this Thursday, September 14, 2023. Gas prices are set to drop by 10 cents per litre, as confirmed by Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy.

The average price of gasoline will plunge from 144.9 cents per litre on Wednesday to just 134.9 cents per litre on Thursday. This price shift occurs as gas stations transition from the summer blend to the winter blend of fuel, a change mandated by regulations.

McTeague explains that winter blend gas is generally cheaper to produce, making it a welcome relief for drivers heading into the fall season. This switch is part of a regulatory requirement where summer-blend gasoline must be sold from April 15 to September 15.

With fuel prices affecting the daily lives and budgets of countless residents, this news arrives as a much-needed boost for Ottawa drivers. Those planning to fill up their gas tanks are encouraged to wait until Thursday to take advantage of the lower rates.

As we approach the date, expect gas stations across Ottawa to implement the new prices early Thursday morning. McTeague’s insights reflect a broader trend that could see further adjustments as fuel production methods evolve.

Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops, and prepare to fill up your tank at a lower cost soon!
