Drivers were able fill up their gas tanks for as low as 168.9 cents a litre or less gas stations across the city on July 23, due to a 10 cent a litre decrease over the past two days.
Gas prices in Ottawa peaked at 215.9 cents a litre in June.
The Ford government implemented a cut of the gas tax by 5.7 cents per litre in Ontario on July 1, and prices dropped 11 cents on that day.
