Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, September 15, 2010 — The Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission approved the following petroleum pricing decisions, effective 12:01 a.m., Wednesday, September 15, 2010:

• Furnace oil and stove oil prices will increase by 2.0 cpl;
• Diesel prices will increase by 1.0 cpl; and
• There will be no change in propane prices at this time.
   

Including adjustments for taxes, pump prices for regular unleaded gasoline at self-serve outlets will now range from 98.5 cpl to 100.6 cpl.
