Motorists in Ottawa, Canada, may experience some relief at the gas pumps as prices are expected to decrease by at least 12 cents per litre on Friday, April 10. This anticipated drop follows a two-week ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, announced on Tuesday. Gas prices have surged by over 50 cents since late February, with current prices reaching $1.89 per litre. Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy, noted that the rising gasoline prices have been driven by a supply shortage related to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Additionally, refineries are scheduled to transition to summer-grade gasoline next week, which will add another 7 cents per litre to prices. Meanwhile, in Gatineau, Quebec, gas prices have approached $2 per litre, with reports of prices hitting $1.99.
