We’re hoping to catch a small break on gas prices for the next week.

News 95.7 is predicting a small drop of about a penny a litre when the price is set tonight, moving the price of regular self-serve to about $1.07 in metro.

Wholesale prices have actually gone up in the last week, but the rising loonie should offset that effect.

Gas in New Brunswick dropped by a little over a penny a litre overnight. The new maximum is set at $1.04.6, with most stations selling for a couple of cents less.
