Here’s when gas prices will drop 9 cents a litre in Ottawa

Ottawa motorists may want to wait until Friday to fill up the gas tank, with significant relief on the way heading into the weekend.

Canadians for Affordable Energy President Dan McTeague says prices are expected to drop nine cents a litre at stations in Ottawa and across Ontario on Friday.

The average price of gas will be around 184.9 cents a litre.

This would be the lowest gas price in Ottawa since May 8, when prices were at 183.9 cents a litre.

Gas prices dropped one cent a litre on Thursday.

McTeague says the price of diesel is also expected to drop nine cents a litre in Ottawa on Friday.
