You might have noticed the price at the gas pumps dropped on January 1st.

The reason is the Alberta government suspended its collection of the provincial fuel tax again.

Locally regular gas prices have dropped to $1.179 per litre in High River although some others have yet to change their prices and they hover around the $1.30 a litre mark in Okotoks.

It's also a few cents lower at Costco in Okotoks, as it always is, at $1.139 but you need a membership to fill up.

The cheapest gas in Alberta is in Rocky Mountain House where you can get gas at $1.074.

In Calgary the lowest price is sitting at $1.249.

And if you're wondering about the prices in Claresholm, where they had price wars going on last year, the cheapest is at the Shell on the south end of town at $1.189.
