Latest News About Ottawa Gas Prices

Here’s the latest on Ottawa gas prices based on recent news reports:

• Early April 2026: Ottawa gas prices hovered around the low to mid $1.80s per litre, with expectations of a possible short-term drop after policy changes and regional factors. For example, reports in early April noted prices near $1.83/L and anticipated reductions driven by regional events, though the timing and magnitude depended on geopolitical developments and refinery activity.[2][4]
• Late March to early April 2026: Prices showed volatility, with several outlets reporting weekly shifts of a few cents per litre as supply and demand fluctuated in the wake of international tensions and refinery scheduling. One piece cited an overnight rise of about 5 cents (to roughly 183.3 cents/L) in late March, reflecting the fragile pump-price environment in Ottawa.[1]
• March 2026 snapshot: CityNews coverage described the city seeing regular price changes—rising several cents over weekends and then potentially easing as markets adjusted—illustrating the common pattern of Ottawa prices responding to global oil shipments and domestic tax or regulatory moves.[3]
