Prices have been steadily increasing since mid-September, after dropping from all-time highs in the summer. A month ago, pump prices were at $1.67 in the province — a 22 cent difference from now.
The last time prices hit $1.89 per litre in New Brunswick was July 21.
Diesel prices, however, went down overnight on Thursday.
New Brunswickers are now paying $2.71 per litre — down from $2.99.
