Gas to rise, diesel to drop in N.B.

It’s a mixed basket of Easter treats at gas pumps across the province this week.

According to an industry source, the price of regular self-serve gas is going up three cents tonight when the Energy and Utilities Board makes its weekly adjustment.

That would but the maximum price to nearly $1.87 per litre.

But diesel prices look to be dropping more than seven cents, bringing the maximum price down to about $2.50 per litre.

The maximum for regular gas is currently at just under $1.84 per litre, while diesel sits at nearly $2.58 per litre.

In Nova Scotia, maximum regular self-serve prices range from about $1.85 to $1.87 per litre while diesel is selling for between $2.49 and $2.51 per litre.

On Prince Edward Island, the maximum prices are $1.96 a litre for regular self-serve, more than $2.57 per litre for diesel and above $1.93 per litre for home heating oil.

The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board adjusts prices every Friday at 12:01 a.m.
