The Utility and Review Board set its weekly gasoline and diesel prices overnight.
Gas is up by 5.5 cents a litre. The minimum price for a litre of regular self-serve unleaded is now $1.60.8 in the eastern mainland. On Cape Breton it’s $1.61.6.
Diesel is also up by 5.1 cents a litre. The minimum price for a litre of diesel is $1.82.3 in the eastern mainland, while on Cape Breton it’s $1.83.1.
Part of this week’s hike in fuel prices is due to an increase in the wholesale margin for self-serve and full-service gasoline and diesel. The UARB issued an interim order on December 23rd to increase the wholesale margin by three cents a litre. That increase came into effect today.
