Those who use furnace oil and diesel are now paying even more out of pocket.
The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board invoked the interrupter clause again on Wednesday night.
The maximum for diesel on Thursday morning now sits at $2.16 a litre.
Furnace oil is at around $2.06 a litre.
They each increased 11.9 cents a litre.
The price for regular self-serve gas remained the same.
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.
