Gas prices in Quebec remained stable on Thursday morning, as motorists anticipate a promotional discount and a price drop for regular gasoline. Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, advises consumers to exercise patience. There are two notable reasons for this recommendation.
Wait Before Refueling: Key Insights
First, Couche-Tard gas stations will offer a 10-cent discount on fuel from 3 PM to 7 PM on Thursday as part of their “Frenzy Fuel Day.” For those not able to take advantage of this promotion, Friday promises additional savings. McTeague predicts a further drop in prices by 10 cents per liter across Quebec.
Current Gas Prices Across Quebec
Currently, the average price of regular gasoline is:
- Montreal: $2.03 per liter
- Quebec City: $1.98 per liter
- Îles-de-la-Madeleine: $2.17 per liter (highest in the province)
- Baie-James: $2.06 per liter
- Oka: $1.64 per liter (lowest in the province)
- Louisville: $1.78 per liter
Factors Influencing Gas Prices
Motorists are greatly impacted by global events, particularly the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which has influenced fuel prices for the last two months. The anticipated price drop on Friday is expected to be positively received by drivers who have been facing high fuel costs.
In summary, consumers should consider delaying their refueling sessions. With attractive discounts and forecasts of falling prices, patience may lead to savings at the pump.
