If you’re planning to hit the road this weekend, there’s some good news for your wallet — gas prices in Canada are set to go down on Saturday, and depending on where you live, the savings could be worth the wait.
According to the latest predictions from gas price predictions site Gas Wizard, average gas prices tomorrow are expected to drop in a bunch of cities across the country, including Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa. But not everyone will be so lucky — some other spots like Calgary are set to hold steady.
Whether you’re topping up for a summer road trip or just trying to keep your regular commute a little cheaper, it’s a good time to keep an eye on the pumps. We’ve also checked in with GasBuddy for the cheapest gas prices today in each province — just in case you’re deciding whether to fuel up now or hold out until tomorrow.
Here’s what to know about gas prices tomorrow across Canada, and where to find the lowest prices today.
British Columbia
Gas Wizard predicts the following regular gas prices for Saturday across major B.C. cities:
- Vancouver — 163.9 c/L (-2¢)

- Kamloops — 145.9 c/L (-1¢)
- Prince George — 144.9 c/L (-1¢)
- Kelowna — 140.9 c/L (-1¢)
B.C. drivers are seeing modest drops across the board, with Vancouver and Victoria both dipping by 2 cents per litre. While these cities remain the most expensive in the country, any decrease is a welcome change.
Interior cities like Kelowna, Kamloops and Prince George are also seeing slight declines, with prices already nearly 20 cents lower than those on the coast.
According to GasBuddy, the cheapest gas in B.C. today is at a Super Save Gas in Quesnel, sitting at 132.9 c/L.

Not much movement in the Prairies this week. Alberta and Saskatchewan cities are holding steady, while Winnipeg sees a slight 1-cent decrease. Edmonton and Winnipeg are tied for the lowest average price among major Canadian cities tomorrow.
Today’s cheapest reported fuel in Alberta is at the Costco in Nisku (Edmonton Airport), where prices are down to 111.9 c/L. In Saskatchewan, Regina Cabs in Regina has the lowest reported price at 114.9 c/L, and a Winnipeg Co-Op leads Manitoba with 116.9 c/L, according to GasBuddy.

Hamilton is also seeing a sizeable 3-cent decrease, while Kingston’s average price tomorrow is one of the lowest in the country.
GasBuddy reports that the cheapest fill-up in the province today is at Smokes Fuel and Convenience in Alderville First Nation (near Cobourg), currently offering gas at just 106.9 c/L.
Quebec
Here’s what Gas Wizard predicts for Saturday in Quebec:

- Quebec City — 155.9 c/L (-1¢)
Quebec drivers are seeing slight relief with a 1-cent decrease in both Montreal and Quebec City. Despite the drop, prices remain high compared to other provinces — in fact, Montreal is tied with Victoria, B.C., for the second-highest price of any major city tomorrow.
According to GasBuddy, the lowest reported price in the province so far today is at an Ultramar station in Chicoutimi, where fuel is going for 129.4 c/L.

- Fredericton, Moncton & Saint John — 144.5 c/L (no change)

It’s a steady week for Atlantic Canada, with no changes expected in major cities. Prices remain relatively high, but consistent.

Newfoundland drivers will find the best deal at an Irving in Conception Bay South, at 147.2 c/L. And over on P.E.I., an Ultramar in Summerside is offering 148.5 c/L.
National trends
As of Friday midday, GasBuddy’s live ticker puts Canada’s national average gas price at 137.9 cents per litre.
Prices are up 1.1 cents from yesterday, 3.0 cents from last week, and 3.2 cents from last month. But compared to last year (when the consumer carbon tax was still in place in most provinces), we’re doing significantly better — prices are down a whopping 24.9 cents per litre.
Here’s how each province’s average stacks up today, according to GasBuddy:
- B.C. — 153.7 c/L
- Quebec — 150.5 c/L
- Newfoundland — 149.7 c/L
- P.E.I. — 147.7 c/L
- Nova Scotia — 142.4 c/L
- New Brunswick — 140.1 c/L
- Manitoba — 132.8 c/L
- Saskatchewan — 132.8 c/L
- Ontario — 131.9 c/L
- Alberta — 129.6 c/L
While prices have dipped slightly from last month, we’re still a few cents off from the lowest national average of the year — that was back on April 16, when it sat at 131.4 cents. We’re also well below the all-time high for this date: a record-high 191.5 cents per litre on July 11, 2022.
Keep in mind that Gas Wizard’s forecasts are average predictions for each city — your mileage may vary. And since GasBuddy relies on crowdsourced info, those numbers might not show the entire picture either.
So if you’re in a city like Peterborough, Hamilton or Vancouver, where gas prices are dropping tomorrow, it might be worth waiting to fill up. But if you’re near a station with a good deal today, like the ones in Alderville First Nation or Quesnel, it might be smart to snag it.
