Just after midnight the minimum price for self-serve gasoline decreased by 5 cents per litre. Prices now range from $1.152 per litre to $1.164 per litre, according to IRAC.  

Pump prices for self-serve diesel fell by 4.8 cents per litre, ranging from $1.210 to $1.221 per litre. 

Islanders will see furnace prices decrease by 5 cents per litre. Including taxes, the maximum price for furnace oil is $0.925 cents per litre. 

No price adjustments were made for propane. The next scheduled price change for the Island will be on Aug. 16.
