Gas Prices Rise after Falling Several Times

Gas prices have risen again after falling several times over the last few weeks.

The hike in prices comes as Nunatsiavut quickly approaches the price freeze lift.

Gas prices went up by 3.5 to 3.6 cents per litre across the province today.

Consumers in central Labrador are now paying nearly $1.39 per litre of gasoline.

That’s almost on par with the price of gasoline in Nunatsiavut which has been frozen at nearly $1.40 since November.

The price of stove oil also saw an increase of nearly three cents per litre.

The prices will be adjusted once suppliers are able to ship fuels into the communities.

That could mean a big increase if the price of fuels continue to rise.

The price freeze was lifted last year on July 15.

2008 saw the price freeze lifted on June 19.
