Canada Gas Price Lows Could Lead To $12 Billion In Savings: Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Slumping oil prices could save Canadians as much as $12 billion at the gas pumps this year.<\/p>\n

But the lower cost is also very bad news for federal and provincial governments, which may have to cut spending in response to falling oil prices.<\/p>\n

The Globe and Mail cited a report Friday by the London, Ont.-based Kent Group saying that Canadians could be on track to save\u00a0$12 billion on gasoline\u00a0<\/a>if crude costs stay at their current levels.<\/p>\n

The report noted that Canadians paid an average of about $1.28 per litre for unleaded gasoline in 2013, with prices dropping to 98.1 cents per litre at the end of this year.<\/p>\n

If the latter price holds up, Canadian households could save about\u00a0$25 per week, or even $1,200 per year<\/a>, said CTV News.<\/p>\n
