According to industry analyst Dan McTeague, gas prices in Toronto are expected to dip by seven or eight cents this Sunday. <\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t need to fill up your gas tanks soon, wait until Sunday to do so, according to an industry analyst.<\/p>\n

Dan McTeague, the president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, says gas prices are expected to drop 7 to 8 cents a litre on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when I\u2019m likely to fill up the jerry cans that I\u2019ll need for, hate to say it, the winter snowblower,\u201d McTeague said in an interview with CP24.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, there\u2019s a bit of relief on the way and has a lot to do with the potential that Europe may be releasing some of its emergency supplies of diesel, gasoline, and to a lesser extent oil.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday, G7 countries agreed<\/a> to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from emergency reserves amid pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Before the relief on Sunday, the price at the pumps will see another hike.<\/p>\n

After a 7-cent increase on Friday,<\/a> gas is expected to jump another 7 cents on Saturday, pushing the prices around 192 cents a litre in the GTA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s an unexpected increase that we normally get this time of year, but of course we know as far as energy has been concerned since March, nothing is normal,\u201d McTeague said.<\/p>\n

He warned that the price rollback on Sunday will just be short-term, given that the conflict in the Middle East that has disrupted global supplies is still ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s short-term gain or at least moderation of price for a much longer, more painful process,\u201d McTeague said. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to get out of this for the next several months.\u201d<\/p>\n
