Gas prices have neared a four-year low in Canada, sinking four cents a litre in various cities during the past week.
The national average retail price reached $1.15 a litre as of Tuesday, according to the Canadian Automobile Association.
The two-day price trend for regular grade gasoline showed Alberta stations charging the national-low of $1.05 a litre on average, followed by:
Manitoba, $1.09
Saskatchewan, $1.10
Ontario, $1.13
New Brunswick, $1.15
Prince Edward Island, $1.16
Newfoundland and Labrador, $1.20
Nova Scotia, $1.20
Quebec, $1.22
British Columbia, $1.23
The highest price recorded by the CAA in the past year was $1.39 a litre, on June 20.
During the latest two-day period, the price in Alberta trended downward, Manitoba and Newfoundland/Labrador upward, while other provinces remained stable.
Prices in Ontario fluctuated significantly, from a low of $1.07 in Peterborough, London and Brockville, to highs of $1.23 in Sault Ste. Marie and other cities in the northern part of the province.
The association polled more than 1,200 Canadians to ask how much they talk about family, weather, work, personal issues, gas prices, local news, travel and hockey/sports.
Gas prices ranked No. 1.
"Gas prices are a more popular topic for Canadians than hockey," Jeff Walker, vice-president of public affairs, said in a statement.
