What goes up must come down.

After prices inched upwards by a few cents over the past few days, Toronto drivers will be happy to know that the price of gas is set to drop.

According to Dan McTeague, gas analyst and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, prices are expected to fall on Thursday, September 1 by as much as seven cents. Drivers in Toronto will soon be paying around $1.519/litre.

It’s definitely welcome news for drivers in areas like Toronto and the GTA, as well as Barrie, London, Ottawa, Kitchener, Hamilton, Windsor, and Kingston. Elsewhere in Canada, drivers will see similar price drops in Montreal and Winnipeg; fuel prices will dip by six cents in Vancouver.

Even if it seems like a small difference, we’ve still come a long way. It was far more expensive to get around in mid-June when drivers were paying almost $2.13/litre.
