Propane prices bumped up. Prices vary by retailer, but the average price for bulk delivery was up 1.4 cents per litre to $0.96.
Fuel prices on P.E.I. hit record highs in the spring, driven up by an increase in world oil prices caused by the war in Ukraine and a shortfall in refining capacity as pandemic restrictions were lifted and demand increased.
Gas prices have been falling since the spring. Heating oil and diesel prices were on a downward trend early in the summer, jumped up in August, but have been down the last two weeks.
Prices are down more than 20 per cent from those record highs.
