The President of Canadian's for Affordable Energy is expecting to see the price for gasoline drop, but only by about a half-cent when regulated prices are adjusted at midnight Friday.

Dan McTeague says the gas and oil markets have been up and down this week with supply concerns driving prices up early in the week and then concern over a slowing economy causing prices to drop near the end.

“The Regulatory Board last week dropped price more that expected so it's unlikely to see any major changes in price this week” said McTeague.

Across the border in New Brunswick, that province's regulator moved the price for self serve regular down by 0.2 cents on Wednesday to a new maximum price of 140.8
