Seventh adjustment in 10 days for N.B. fuel prices
Another day, another price adjustment by the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board.
The interrupter clause was invoked again overnight. This time, it impacted regular self-serve, diesel and furnace oil.
The maximum cost for regular self-serve fuel fell 6.9 cents a litre at 12:01 am on Sunday, to around $1.83.
Diesel dipped 10.3 cents a litre to a maximum of around $2.14.
The maximum for furnace oil now sits at around $2.08, also down 10.3 cents a litre.
Fuel prices have been adjusted seven times in the last ten days.
The federal fuel excise tax is set to be temporarily removed on Monday, which is expected to lower gas prices by around 10 cents a litre and diesel prices by around four cents a litre.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the temporary relief last week, stating it will be reduced until Labour Day to help cut costs for Canadians.
This comes as the current Global conflict and ongoing supply disruptions in the Middle East are driving up fuel prices worldwide.
