Small Price Drop For Diesel, Heating Oil

New Brunswickers who use diesel or heating oil are getting a bit of a break.

Prices dropped Tuesday night when the Energy and Utilities Board invoked its interrupter clause.

The new maximum price for diesel is nearly $2.40 per litre, a drop of just over seven cents.

Heating oil is down by around the same amount to a new maximum price of nearly $2.19 per litre.

Diesel prices have now changed seven times in less than three weeks, going up five times and down twice. The interrupter clause was used in five of those instances.

The price of diesel currently costs nearly 46 cents per litre more than it did on April 14.

Gasoline and propane prices remained unchanged overnight. The maximum price for regular self-serve is currently set at more than $1.82 per litre.

The Energy and Utilities Board will make its regular weekly price adjustment at midnight Wednesday night.
