Drivers in the GTA may want to wait to fill up their gas tank as prices at the pumps are set to drop Sunday after soaring by 20 cents over the past four days.

Roger McKnight, Chief Petroleum Analyst at En-Pro International, told CityNews that the price of gas is expected to fall by five cents on Sunday to $1.759/litre at most GTA stations.

Gas prices rose four cents on Saturday, with the average price topping $1.80/litre — a price not seen since August.

McKnight said Sunday’s price is expected to hold until Tuesday, and any changes would occur on Wednesday.

Back in June, the price at the pumps hit a record $2.149 a litre. The price then fell to $1.439 a litre in September — the lowest since January.
