Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her government is axing its fuel tax for three months to help combat the cost at the pumps.
Smith says starting Oct. 1, drivers will save 13 cents a litre on gasoline and diesel.
It comes after her government offered $100 rebate cheques to Albertans starting in April amid soaring global oil prices.
At the time, Smith cited concerns that a rebate may be more effective because it’s not always certain that tax cuts at the pump get passed on to consumers.
