Saskatchewan’s average gas price has gone up 141.28 c/L, up 1.1 c/L from last week’s 140.23 c/L, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 82 gas outlets in Regina. The week prior, prices had jumped 6 c/L from the week before, due to a refinery outage in the United States.
This compares with the national average that has fallen 0.4 c/L in the last week to 138.23 c/L, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
“Canada’s national average inched up over the last week, with average gas prices rising in six provinces, led by notable increases in Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Quebec,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While oil prices remained relatively stable in the low-$60s, regional refinery dynamics and the weakening Canadian dollar likely contributed to the upward pressure on fuel prices. As we move further into September, barring major disruptions like hurricanes or global conflict escalations, Canadians could still see some modest relief at the pump later this fall.”
