Gas, Diesel Prices Jump Overnight

The break at the fuel pumps we saw over the past week has been short-lived.

The price for regular self-serve is up by 4.4 cents per litre in New Brunswick.

It is now selling for a maximum of $1.633 per litre after the weekly setting by the Energy and Utilities Board.

Diesel will now cost you as much as $1.778 per litre, an increase of just over five cents.

Most local stations are selling both fuels for a few cents less.

This time last year, regular self-serve was selling for a maximum of $1.216 per litre, while the most you were paying for diesel was $1.255 per litre.

Meanwhile, heating oil has fallen by two-tenths of a cent to a new maximum of $1.60 per litre. It jumped by nearly six cents per litre on Tuesday night after the EUB invoked its rarely-used interrupter clause.

The new maximum price for propane is $1.329, an increase of just over four cents per litre.

Fuel prices are reset every Wednesday night in New Brunswick.
