Gas prices drop in Saskatoon ahead of next carbon tax increase

Saskatoon drivers are getting a small break at the gas pumps just days before the next increase to the federal carbon tax.

A litre of regular gas dropped roughly 5 cents to $1.51.9 at many outlets Tuesday morning, while few stations are below a $1.50 per litre.

However, the cheaper prices won’t last very long.

The federal carbon tax is increasing to 14 cents per litre on Saturday.
