A recent GasBuddy report tracked the price of oil, which dropped $6.34 per barrel earlier this week while Canadian oil blends traded as low as $12 per barrel.
“The total effect may have been worrisome for petroleum producers, but for refiners and drivers alike, no one seemed to be complaining as average pump prices across Canada fell by 3.5 cents a litre to an average of 109.6 cents, their lowest since early October 2017,” said Dan McTeague, analyst with GasBuddy.
