Drivers took a hit to the wallet over the weekend when gas prices went up 13 cents per litre.

According to analysts, the recent Collonial Pipeline rupture will have little effect on Southern Alberta gas prices.

Gas prices did drop 3 cents per litre on Monday, September 19, with a possible drop of another 2 to 3 cents before the end of the week.

Even with increased gas prices, the pumps are still 8.2 cents lower than this time last year.
