Driving in Montreal is no easy feat. You've got loads of construction and a sea of orange cones, potholes galore and not to mention, the traffic. In fact, Montreal has the fourth worst traffic in Canada behind Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg, according to a recent report from TomTom.
Gas prices in and around Montreal have dropped for the second time in a week and are likely to stay the lowest they've been so far this year for a few more days. Right now, the average pump price is around $1.55 per litre of unleaded and likely to stay that way until January 11, according to price monitor Gas Wizard. CAA-Québec notes that most gas stations are selling under average, however, and advises filling up while prices are lower.
Montreal motorists are getting a belated holiday gift the cost of gas is finally on the decline after going up and stalling for several weeks. Prices at the pump are expected to drop by at least 4 cents on Thursday, according to price monitor GasWizard, and could continue trending downward, thanks to a fall in wholesale oil prices.
Gas prices in Montreal have been on the decline this week hitting some of the lowest rates seen in nearly a year. That's good news for drivers who've been hearing a slew of unfavourable predictions over the last few months. Fortunately, the current cost break is slated to last through the weekend.
Montrealers should wait until Thursday to fill up their gas tanks. Prices at the pump are expected to fall six cents in Quebec, according to Gas Wizard. That will put the average price per litre of unleaded at $1.89. Gas prices have hovered around $1.95 per litre for the past week and a half.
