Residents on the island will notice a significant jump at the pumps today, while residents in Labrador will largely see decreases.
According to the PUB, the spike in prices is due to an approved request from North Atlantic for an interim increase to reflect the cost of importing fuels to the island following the idling of the Come by Chance refinery.
The interim increases affect the price of gas, diesel, furnace oil, and stove oil.
On the island, gas is up by 4.1 cents, and diesel is up by 3.3 cents. Conversely, in Labrador gas and diesel have dropped by nearly half a cent each (1.7 and 1.4 cents respectively.)
As well, stove oil on the island have increased by 2.78 cents while in Labrador the price has dropped by just over 1.22 cent.
Across the entire province, furnace oil is up by over 3.17 cents and propane has increased by half a cent.
