Could be 10 cents by weeks end

Some decent news for drivers in the Niagara region.

According to various sources including GasBuddy and GasWizard, the price at gas stations is expected to dip a bit by the end of the week, roughly 10 cents overall.

That'll bring some prices to the $1.60 range.

If you're able to hold off until then, or don't fill it, just put enough in to keep you going.

Diesel prices could drop by 20 cents.

The war in Iran has been larged blamed for the recent price increases, when shipping in the Strait of Hormuz was greatly slowed, and prices were roughly 50 cents cheaper two months ago.
