Gas prices are up today, but how much depends on where you live in the province.
Today’s pricing adjustment takes into account both the average benchmark price of fuels and also an increase in carbon taxes.
The regulated price of gas is up by 2.6 cents a litre in most parts of Labrador except Labrador West, while the price is up by 5.5 a litre everywhere else.
Diesel is up by 3.1 cents a litre in most of Labrador—except Labrador West—while it is up by 4.4 cents elsewhere.
Furnace and stove oils are up by just over a cent, while propane is up by 2.3 cents a litre.
New carbon taxes announced in March come into effect today, increasing from 6.63 cents a litre to 8.84 cents for gas and rising to 10.73 cents per litre for diesel.
