Gas prices in New Brunswick lowest since February after 7-cent drop

Gas prices in New Brunswick are at a nine-month low after dropping overnight on Wednesday.

The province’s Energy and Utilities Board (NBEUB) lowered the maximum cost of gasoline a day before the usual weekly price adjustment.

New Brunswickers are now paying a maximum of $1.56 per litre for regular self-serve gasoline.

The last time pump prices were this low in New Brunswick was in early February, when the cost of gas was a maximum of $1.54 per litre. Since then, prices have ranged from $1.58 up to $2.19 — with record high numbers seen in mid-June.
