REGINA — Gas prices in Regina, Saskatoon and across Saskatchewan fell over the past week, but drivers are still paying significantly more than they were a year ago, according to GasBuddy.
Average retail gasoline prices in Regina fell 5.9 cents per litre in the past week, averaging 176.61 cents per litre Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 82 gas outlets in the city.
That compares with the national average, which fell 5.2 cents per litre over the same period to 182.10 cents per litre.
Despite the weekly drop, Regina prices were still 43.8 cents per litre higher than the same day one year ago and 9.4 cents per litre higher than a month ago.
The national average has increased 10.1 cents per litre over the last month and stood 42.5 cents per litre higher than the same day last year.
Saskatoon prices also moved lower, averaging 178.91 cents per litre, down from 182.96 cents per litre last week. Across Saskatchewan, the average price was 178.28 cents per litre, down from 182.22 cents per litre a week earlier.
According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on May 25 in Regina have ranged widely over the last five years. Prices were 132.85 cents per litre in 2025, 155.33 cents per litre in 2024, 159.63 cents per litre in 2023, 185.53 cents per litre in 2022 and 125.11 cents per litre in 2021.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said prices could ease further if global oil markets continue to respond to optimism around a potential agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“Canada’s national average gasoline price could soon begin moving lower as oil prices retreat on growing optimism surrounding a potential agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,” De Haan said. “Markets have started pricing in the possibility that disrupted oil flows could gradually resume, easing some of the geopolitical risk premium that had been embedded in crude prices over the last several weeks. However, the situation remains highly fluid. If a deal is finalized and shipping through the Strait meaningfully resumes, gasoline and diesel prices across Canada could begin to ease in the weeks ahead. But if negotiations falter or tensions re-escalate, oil prices could quickly move higher again, putting renewed upward pressure on fuel prices nationwide.”
