Drivers in Newfoundland and Labrador will see a minor increase in gasoline prices starting Thursday.
The Public Utilities Board has raised the maximum price of gasoline by one cent per litre in its weekly adjustment. This follows a 2.3-cent decrease last week, part of a fluctuating trend that has left prices nearly unchanged from eight weeks ago when summer began.
Under the new pricing, customers on the Avalon Peninsula, where prices are typically lower, will now pay up to $1.777 per litre. Prices across the rest of Newfoundland will range from $1.78 to $1.95 per litre, while in Labrador, they will range from $1.64 to $2.20 per litre.
Diesel prices have seen a minimal decrease, dropping by 0.2 cents per litre in most areas, with no change in Labrador West and Churchill Falls.
Furnace oil prices have been reduced by 0.16 cents per litre, resulting in prices between $1.11 and $1.29 per litre in Newfoundland.
Stove oil prices have also decreased by 0.16 cents per litre, with a slight variation in Labrador West and Churchill Falls where the decrease is 0.05 cents. Customers in Newfoundland will now pay between $1.16 and $1.34 per litre, depending on location, while in Labrador, prices will range from $1.24 to $1.95 per litre.
Propane prices have decreased by 0.8 cents per litre, with maximum prices now between 95 cents and $1.08 per litre in Newfoundland and between 82 cents and $1.26 per litre in Labrador.
