‘Jaw-Dropping’ Plunge Lowers Gas Prices
A leading Canadian analyst is predicting gas prices will go even lower.
Dan McTeague from GasBuddy.com is predicting four cent a litre declines this week in central BC, and most of Western Canada.
He says it’s due to what he calls “the jaw dropping free-fall on energy markets,” with oil prices plunging more than 6 dollars a barrel last week.
“Some Canadian oil blends traded as low as $12 per barrel. The total effect may have been worrisome for petroleum producers, but for refiners and drivers alike, no one seemed to be complaining as average pump prices across Canada fell by 3.5 cents a litre to an average of 109.6 cents, their lowest since early October 2017,’ says McTeague in his weekly newsletter.
