Pump prices have fallen below $1/litre for the first time in almost a year-and-a-half.
The price of gas plunged more than five cents- 5.2 cents- during the regular price adjustment at midnight, which means the new range for a litre of regular self-serve in the Quad Counties is between $0.99.6 on the low end, and $1.02.6 on the high end.
Gas, which has dropped every week since the Thanksgiving long weekend, is down more than 29 cents in the last eight weeks, an average of a little more than 3.5 cents per week; it hasn’t been below the $1/litre mark since June 2017.
Diesel dropped even more, as much as seven cents a litre; that means the new range in the Quad Counties is between a minimum of $1.13.4 and a maximum of $1.16.3.
