N.B. gas prices jump in time for long weekend

If you need to fill up your gas tank, it will hit you harder in the wallet than last week.

The maximum for regular self-serve spiked seven cents a litre overnight to a maximum of $1.61.

This comes with the weekly price adjustments by the Energy and Utilities Board.

Those using furnace oil and diesel are paying even more.

Furnace oil is up 10.7 cents a litre to a maximum of $1.46 while diesel increased 11.1 cents with a maximum of $1.75.

In Nova Scotia, regular self-serve ranges from $1.57 to $1.61 per litre while diesel is selling for between $1.71 and $1.75 per litre.

On Prince Edward Island, the price for regular self-serve is around $1.63 per litre, diesel costs around $1.74 per litre, and home heating oil sells for a maximum of $1.18 per litre.

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