Interrupter clause forces fuel prices up again

Get ready to fork out more for fuel if you need to fill up.

The interrupter clause was invoked again overnight, causing a huge spike in the cost for regular self-serve fuel.

The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board put up prices by 10 cents overnight, to a maximum of around $1.90.

This comes just two days before the federal government temporarily suspends the fuel excise tax by 10 cents to lower costs for consumers. The reduction will be in place until Labour Day.

There was no change to diesel or furnace oil prices overnight.
