Interrupter Clause

fuel GAS PUMP PRICES

Huge spike in N.B. fuel prices this weekend

, ,

Gas prices in New Brunswick saw a sudden spike Saturday morning.

The interrupter clause was activated, bumping the maximum price of regular unleaded gas to about $2.02 per litre.

Friday’s regular weekly adjustment had pushed the price up just two-tenths of a cent to about $1.94.

The news is worse for diesel users.

The maximum price there jumped about 14 cents, from slightly below $2.59 to $2.73.

Furnace oil also saw a 14-cent increase, from $2.52 to $2.66 per litre.

In Nova Scotia, regular self‑serve maximum prices currently range from about $1.93 to $1.95 per litre, while diesel’s maximum is between about $2.70 and $2.72 per litre.

On Prince Edward Island, the maximum price for regular self‑serve is about $2.06 per litre, diesel is at $2.74 per litre, and home heating oil is selling for a maximum of about $2.16 per litre.

The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board makes its regular weekly price adjustments every Friday at 12:01 a.m.

Diesel price drops overnight with interrupter clause

The Nova Scotia Energy Board has used the interrupter clause again for diesel prices, but this time to lower the cost.

As of midnight Wednesday, the price went down 10.8 cents to 212.3 cents a litre, according to a news release from the board.

They say adjustment is due to a significant shift in the market.

However, regular gas is not affected.

The Energy Board monitors fuel prices every day and they say they can make further changes if market conditions require.

It’s due to market shifts in the price of fuel.
