HST Goes Up Friday, Gas As Well

The Consumer Group For Fair Gas Prices is reminding consumers that the HST goes up this Friday, so that will impact total gas prices.

As for the particulars on the officially regulated price points, spokesman George Murphy is forecasting an increase of about two cents a litre in gas prices, but a drop of about half a cent in diesel prices.

As for heating and stove oil, they too are headed down, but only by tenths of a cent.

The current price for gas per litre is $1.535.
