Gasoline and diesel prices are trending in opposite directions.
The Utility and Review Board set its weekly petroleum prices overnight.
Gasoline is up by 3.7 cents a litre. This is the second increase in gas this week, after jumping by 7.3 cents a litre on Tuesday after the UARB invoked the Interrupter Clause. The minimum price for a litre of regular self serve unleaded is now $1.66.6 in the eastern mainland and $1.67.4 on Cape Breton.
While gasoline is up, diesel is down, falling by five cents a litre. The minimum price for a litre of diesel is now $1.59.3 in the eastern mainland and $1.60.1 on Cape Breton.
