Drivers across Toronto and the GTA will see a noticeable break at the pumps heading into the weekend, with gas prices expected to drop eight cents on Friday.

The forecast comes from Roger McKnight, chief petroleum analyst at En‑Pro International, who says prices are expected to fall from 187.9 cents per litre to 179.9 at most stations.

McKnight says the decrease is tied directly to the industry’s annual switchover from summer to winter gasoline — a seasonal shift that typically lowers production costs and wholesale prices.
