The following is being distributed at the
request of the Public Utilities Board's Petroleum Pricing Office (PPO):
Weekly Adjustment of Maximum Prices of Regulated Petroleum Products
Effective 12:01 a.m. Thursday, August
26, 2010, the Public Utilities Board set maximum prices for all
regulated petroleum products in all areas of the province.
Maximum fuel prices changed as follows:
- all types of gasoline motor fuel decreased by 0.2
or 0.3 cents per litre (cpl);
- diesel motor fuel decreased by 0.2 to 0.4 cpl;
- furnace oil and stove oil heating fuel decreased
by 0.02 cpl; and,
- propane heating fuel decreased by 1.4 cpl.
These maximum prices reflect the change in the
average benchmark price of the products over the seven-day period ending
Tuesday of this week.
As an example, the average
benchmark price for gasoline, as tracked on the New York Mercantile
Exchange (NYMEX) and converted to Canadian dollars, decreased over the
period by 0.21 cpl, resulting in a 0.2 cpl decrease, accounting for
taxation and rounding.
The next scheduled price change is Thursday,
September 2, 2010.
