But Friday's price is still a welcome respite from the $1.40-level gas many Canadian cities faced during the summer.

The price of crude oil, the main ingredient in gasoline, has been dropping steeply since it's peak of $147 reached in July.

The February contract for crude oil settled at US$36.51 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, down from more than US$50 a barrel a week ago.

"Crude oil is an important input into the distillation of gasoline. But there's a lot of other factors as well," said Todd Hirsch, senior economist with ATB Financial in Calgary.

"I'm not seeing a lot of strengthening in crude oil prices over the next six months," he said.
