The following is being distributed at the request of the
Board of Commissioners of Public Utilities:
Weekly Adjustment of Maximum Prices of
Regulated Petroleum Products
Thursday, September 30, 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 will increase
by 0.1 or 0.2 cents per litre (cpl);
- diesel motor fuel will increase by 0.1 or 0.2
cpl;
- furnace oil and stove oil heating fuel will
increase by 0.31 cpl; and,
- propane heating fuel will increase by 0.6 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, increased over the
period by 0.1 cpl, resulting in a 0.1 cpl increase, accounting for
taxation and rounding.
The next scheduled price change is Thursday, October
7, 2010.
