N.B. diesel, furnace oil prices plunge, gas prices jump

It’s like a roller coaster ride, up, down, up, and then down again.

The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board made its weekly fuel price adjustments overnight.

The interrupter clause was implemented last week and again this week for diesel and furnace oil, forcing prices up, but the weekly cost change brought prices back down.

Diesel is down again, this time dropping by 15.7 cents a litre to a maximum of around $2.00.

Furnace oil dipped 14.3 cents to a maximum of around $1.92.

No impact for regular self-serve fuel prices by the interrupter clause earlier this week, but prices rose overnight on Thursday, up eight cents a litre to a maximum of around $1.50.

The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board adjusts prices every Friday at 12:01 a.m.

In Nova Scotia, regular self-serve ranges from about $1.52 to $1.57 per litre while diesel is selling for between $2.01 and $2.05 per litre.

On Prince Edward Island, the maximum prices are just over $1.61 a litre for regular self-serve, $2.10 per litre for diesel and $1.69 per litre for home heating oil.
