According to GasBuddy.com, the average retail price for gas in Saskatoon is down by 1.4 cents a litre in the past week. As of Sunday morning, the average price was $1.52.24 cents a litre, which is just a bit lower than the national average of $1.53.75. In Regina, the average price was $1.55.88 cents a litre, down 1.2 cents from last week. Year over year, the price in Saskatoon is just over 13 cents a litre higher than last year at this time and 0.9 cents higher than a month ago.

Head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, Patrick De Haan, says nearly all provinces have seen slight declines as the bulk of the seasonal transition has yet to significantly impact gas prices. He adds that oil prices have remained steady in the low $70s, but GasBuddy continues to monitor key developments, including ongoing talks between the U.S., Russia and Ukraine on a potential agreement.
