The interruption formula criteria were not met for either of the other fuel products regulated by the Board, including ultra low sulphur diesel, furnace and stove oil, or residential propane used for home heating purposes.

Slowing global demand, economic worries and a rebuild in inventories remain the primary driving factors. Barring any unforeseen events, maximum fuel prices will again be adjusted Thursday, November 6, 2008, as per its scheduled biweekly change. - 30 - 1.
