Alberta’s Finance Minister Travis Toews announced Dec. 20 that the province would suspend the full provincial fuel tax for six months, starting Jan. 1.

That means Albertans will save 13 cents per litre on gasoline and diesel for the first half of the new year, Toews said. That’s an estimated $440 total for people driving pickup trucks and fueling once weekly, or up to $300 for cars or SUVs.
