Energy and Utilities

You’ll need to dig deeper beneath the couch cushions for loose change, and hope for a loonie or two as gas prices continue to rise.

The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board made weekly price adjustments early Friday morning.

The maximum for regular self-serve fuel rose another 7.8 cents a litre to around $1.91.

We’re seeing increases for diesel and furnace oil as well, with prices up 4.6 cents a litre.

Diesel is now at a maximum of around $2.25.

Furnace oil prices hit a maximum of around $2.24.
