Gas prices started taking a dive after a dispute over production between Saudi Arabia and Russia rippled across the globe. The price drop here in the Tri-Cities also comes as the COVID-19 pandemic puts pressure on the global economy.

Gas price analysts suggest waiting a day to fill up at the pumps in Metro Vancouver as prices are expected to drop Wednesday. 

According to Dan McTeague, President, Canadians for Affordable Energy, formerly of GasBuddy.com, gas prices are expected to drop a whopping eight to 10 cents in a single day on Wednesday, Mar. 10.
