N.B. furnace oil and diesel prices rise again

, ,

The Energy and Utilities Board has implemented its interrupter clause again.

Diesel prices rose overnight, up 9.6 cents a litre to around $2.04.

Furnace oil is also up 8.3 cents a litre to around $1.94.

The price of regular self-serve gas did not change.

Last week, the interrupter clause was invoked on the same day to increase diesel and furnace oil prices.

While the board didn’t give a reason for this week’s increase, analysts have been warning of rising North American fuel prices as conflict in the Middle East continues to push world oil markets higher.
