• Propane prices will increase by 2.2 cents per litre (cpl) for Superior Propane, by 3.1 cpl for Irving Energy Distribution and Marketing and by 2.4 cpl for Kenmac Energy Inc.

Including adjustments for taxes, pump prices for regular unleaded gasoline at self-serve outlets will now range from 112.8 cpl to 114.0 cpl. Maximum before tax propane prices will now range from 84.6 cpl to 85.1 cpl.
