The least expensive gas in the Thunder Bay area continues to be the K&A Variety and Gas Bar on City Road on Fort William First Nation, where a litre of regular unleaded only costs $1.13.
Several stations have yet to drop their price and sit at $1.549.
The Ontario average is $1.326 per litre, while the Canadian average is $1.371. Both are slightly up over Monday.
