Canadian motorists may find some relief at the pump tomorrow as gas prices are set to drop in several major cities across the country. According to forecasts from Gas Wizard and real-time data from GasBuddy, regions in British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario are expected to see noticeable dips in fuel costs starting Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
Where Prices Are Dropping
British Columbia (B.C.):
Vancouver and Victoria, two of Canada’s most expensive cities for regular fuel, are forecast to see a 2-cent per litre drop. While the decrease may seem modest, it’s a welcome change for drivers in coastal cities where prices have hovered near record highs. Interior cities like Kelowna and Kamloops will remain steady, but their base prices are already significantly lower—up to 24 cents less than Vancouver.
Manitoba:
Winnipeg is expected to see the steepest drop among Prairie cities, with a 4-cent dip in regular fuel prices. This makes it a prime spot for drivers to fill up if they can wait until tomorrow. Regina and Saskatoon are holding steady, while Alberta cities like Calgary and Edmonton show no change in regular fuel—but Calgary’s premium fuel is forecast to drop by a notable 10 cents per litre.
Ontario:
The picture is mixed across Ontario. Northern cities like Thunder Bay and Sudbury are expected to see the largest drops, while Cornwall—usually one of the cheapest spots—is currently at the top of the price list. Drivers in Thunder Bay may benefit most from waiting, as prices there are forecast to fall below the provincial average.
Why Are Prices Changing?
Gas prices in Canada fluctuate based on several factors:
- Global oil market trends
- Refinery output and seasonal demand
- Regional transportation and distribution costs
- Currency exchange rates
This week’s dip is attributed to easing crude oil prices and reduced demand following the end of the long weekend. Analysts also point to increased refinery output in the U.S. Midwest, which supplies much of Canada’s fuel.
Should You Wait to Fill Up?
If you’re in one of the cities expecting a drop—especially Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, or Vancouver—it may be worth holding off until tomorrow to refuel. However, experts caution against waiting if your tank is low, as the savings may only amount to a few dollars.
“Waiting for a 2-cent drop might save you a couple bucks, but it’s not worth the risk if you’re running on fumes,” says Gas Wizard’s forecast team.

Final Thoughts
While the drops may be modest, they come at a time when Canadians are grappling with inflation and rising living costs. Even a few cents per litre can make a difference for commuters, road trippers, and delivery drivers.
Stay informed, plan your fill-ups wisely, and keep an eye on regional trends to make the most of these price changes.
