CBC
The price of gas in Newfoundland and Labrador is down on Thursday after reaching an all-time record high last week.
The Public Utilities Board announced a decrease of 1.3 cents per litre, which means that a litre of self-serve gasoline will cost no more than $1.539 on the Avalon Peninsula.
The decrease comes after gas prices hit a record high of $1.551 on Sept. 16.
Gas prices are higher in most other parts of the province. In central Newfoundland, the maximum price for a litre of gasoline is $1.564, while near Corner Brook the maximum price is $1.547. In central Labrador, the price is lower, at $1.508.
The PUB announced increases in the prices of all other fuels this week. Diesel will increase by 2.7 cents per litre, and propane will increase by 2 cents per litre. The prices of furnace oil and stove oil are both set to rise by 2.28 cents per litre.
