Gas prices will fall for a second straight week.

News 95.7  is predicting another drop at midnight tonight of about two cents a litre.

Regular self-serve is currently selling for 99.3 in metro, so we’re hoping to be in the 97 cent a litre ballpark this time tomorrow.

The price drop may have been greater but there was a spike on the wholesale markets on Wednesday.

New Brunswick prices were set before the bump, and prices have gone down by 4.4 cents overnight. Diesel prices have also dropped by a couple of cents.
