Drivers from across Saskatchewan and Canada might have been expecting to see gas prices rise during the long weekend.

That won't be the case though, as this long weekend prices are set to stay put or drop in most parts of the country and province.

Dan McTeague is the senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com and says that in Swift Current we shouldn't expect much change.

"I think they are going to stay the same," he said. "As an analyst, I always look at where prices are relative to other jurisdictions across the 15 different regions in the province. What we are seeing is most gas prices are about five cents a litre above what it takes gas stations to buy them. Based on the 126.9 in Swift Current, it looks like that price is going to pretty much remain through the long weekend. What you see is what you are going to get."

McTeague says that Saskatchewan will follow the trend in Swift Current and will stay pretty much the same.

"You're going to see some variations here and there. Some may actually drop a penny, some may rise a penny," he noted. "I don't think you're going to see too many going below or above what they're selling in Regina, which is about a buck twenty-five. I'm not seeing much movement and it's a safe bet that prices are going to remain the same throughout the entire weekend."

As for those travelling to the Memorial Cup this weekend, McTeague says they can expect prices to drop in Regina.

"I think Regina, you're going to find that prices could drop another penny there," he said. "I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of locations fall in the 124-123 range. You might actually find it a penny or so cheaper in and around Regina."

For the rest of the country, some provinces will be seeing their gas prices dip while others will increase.

"Vancouver is going to drop a couple of pennies. Calgary has gone up to 136.9, Edmonton is at 134.9 but they will see prices drop tomorrow and then on Sunday and ditto for Winnipeg who has at 130 down to 127, possibly down to 125," he said. "Ontario is 139 at the top end, but a lot of stations are selling it for as little as 129. Montreal dipped from 147 all the way down to 141.9. The only place we are going to see remain high are in regulated markets."

McTeague added that looking further into the summer he expects gas prices to range from a low as $1.20 and as high as $1.35.
