All types of gasoline increased by up to 6.4 cents per litre.

Diesel prices on the Island increased by up to 12.2 cents per litre, while diesel in western Labrador increased by 11.9 cents per litre.

Heating fuel prices also increased. Furnace oil on the Island rose by up to 10.58 cents per litre, while stove oil in western Labrador increased by 10.25 cents per litre.
