Petroleum product prices all up in mid-month price review

Prices on P.E.I. for gas, diesel, heating oil and propane are all up Friday morning.

The increases are from the regular mid-month price review from the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission.

• The minimum price for regular, self-serve gasoline rose 1.9 cents to $0.994.
• The price for diesel rose 1.2 cents to $1.263.
• Heating oil is up 1.4 cents to $0.933.

Prices were up different amounts for the Island's three propane retailers.

• Irving: Up 3.7 cents to $0.798 for bulk delivery.
• Kenmac: Up 1 cent to $0.788 for bulk delivery.
• Superior: Up 3.4 cents to $0.807 for bulk delivery.

In a news release, IRAC said cold temperatures and increased demand over the past two weeks have raised the market price on the New York Mercantile Exchange for all petroleum products.
