Gas pump prices to dip, expert says

AppId is over the quota

An energy consultant sees gasoline prices headed a bit lower for the remainder of 2011, but not by as much as many motorists would hope.

Fears of a double-dip recession have oil traders betting demand will fall — pushing the price down from around US$100 per barrel in July to just under $80 on Monday.

Since crude is used to make gasoline the price-drop should filter through to the gas pump.

But Roger McKnight with En-Pro International says the Canadian dollar takes a hit when oil prices fall, since so much of our economy is tied to the energy sector.

So he says the weaker loonie is muting a lot of the positive impact the lower crude prices should have on consumers.

Price-tracking website Gasbuddy.com says the Canadian average for gasoline was about $1.22 per litre.
