After weeks of gas prices in Ontario soaring to new and depressing heights, things are finally turning the other way.
According to Gas Wizard, prices will drop 3 cents a liter for most of the province on Wednesday to 196.9 cents a liter, preventing cities like Toronto, Ottawa and Windsor from meeting the dreaded $2 a liter.
The positive change came after residents woke up Sunday to gas prices of 199.9 cents a liter, after a four cent increase overnight.
Dan McTeaguegas analyst and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy predicted the decline Monday via Twitter, linking it to the looming threat of a global recession.
At the moment, Peterborough is the cheapest place for gas in the county, offering a relatively reasonable 190.9 cents a liter at the pumps.
Cornwall closely follows with 192.9 cents per liter, with Thunder Bay, 193.9, surprisingly in a good third place.
The northern city typically offers higher gas prices than southern regions like the GTA and Niagara, with the province having recently seen a shift.
As for what will be the most expensive place for gas this week, Sudbury is holding on to that title, offering residents a dismal 198.3 cents a litre, falling 0.3 cents on Wednesday.
Barrie is the only other outlier, expected to see prices at 195.9 cents a liter on Wednesday.
If you are someone who has avoided driving to avoid these ridiculously high prices, you may have to wait a while as things are not expected to cool down any time soon
